I saw this recipe a couple of months ago, and knew right away that I had to make them! Who could resist the old-fashioned flavor of cookie dough, dipped in chocolate? What can potentially go wrong with that combination? Nothing! What makes this perfect is that it uses condensed milk instead of raw egg yolks, therefore, it is truly convenient. Another bonus, this recipes makes whopping 5-1/2 dozens of truffles–and you will need that many since they will go fast! Since I wasn’t here during the holiday, I decided to whip them up now.  I think they will be wonderful for Valentine’s Day if you want to bake up something special this weekend. Happy Valentine’s Day!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
