Holiday Treats For Neighbors

So I've become Susie Homemaker and decided to share something nice with my neighbors. Everyone I know tends to share cookies so I thought why not try something new? I decided to make Oreo and Cookie Dough Truffles. I am warning you now it is messy but so worth it! Here are the recipes:

Oreo Truffles:

I first had these when my aunt made them and they are awesome!

Ingredients:

36 Oreo cookies finely crushed (one whole 14.3oz package of Oreo cookies is 36 cookies)

1 package of  8oz philidelphia cream cheese softened

16oz bakers semi-sweet chocolate 

Directions:

RESERVE 1/4 cup cookie crumbs. Mix cream cheese and remaining cookie crumbs until blended.

SHAPE into 48 (1-inch) balls. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm.

Cookie Dough Truffles

Found this recipe on allrecipes.com note:try freezing the dough a little before molding then once again before dipping in chocolate so they maintain their shape well

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup toffee baking bits
• 1 pound chocolate confectioners' coating
               
                      Directions:
  Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add flour, alternately with sweetened condensed milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits; mixing just enough to evenly combine.

  
  

  Using a small cookie scoop, make 1-inch balls and place them on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour

  
  

  Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or coating will scorch. Dip the dough balls in the chocolate coating, allowing any excess to drip off. Place on waxed-paper lined baking sheets and sprinkle the truffles with additional toffee pieces. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.
