I know I’ve already posted cookie dough bites and yes I still love those, but I love when I can upgrade. I love to make things fancier. These are the gourmet version of those cookie dough bites as they have browned butter, vanilla bean seeds and sea salt. They are decadent, divine, luscious, perfect, dreamy, worth about as much as diamonds and every other best word I can think of to describe something that is insanely delicious. Yes it should make about 28 truffles but likely you’ll get half that many or less because you’ll eat that much dough before you even have time to shape them. And yes of course it is completely edible as it contains no eggs and has instead been replaced with cream (ahh how I love cream) and a splash of milk.
Tips for Browning Butter
Just be sure that you aren’t timid about really browning the butter. Don’t do that lightly golden, slightly browned butter I’ve seen around the web labeled as “browned butter.” Browned butter should be a deep orangish brown (in my opinion anyway) to really get the full effect and to take advantage of it’s ability to enhance foods with its nutty and caramel like flavor. When browned butter is properly prepared it is truly one of the best foods in the world. If you can make browned butter you’ll be able to make a lot of friends. And beginning with adding it to these cookie dough bites =). You can either dip these truffles in chocolate or drizzle them in chocolate (like I did with the other cookie dough bites I posted). Personally I think I like the drizzled version for these best at it allows that browned butter flavor to really shine and it’s much quicker and easier too. But whichever way you make them you will likely be in love. Enjoy!
