Cookie Dough Truffles

Cookie Dough:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup egg substitute (like egg beaters)

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/4 cup flour

1 cup mini choc chips

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (I use walnuts)

Chocolate Covering:

12 oz pkg semi sweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)

1 1/2 Tbs shortening (this is to thin out the chocolate so it coats really nicely)

Beat butter until creamy; add sugars and beat well.  Add egg subs. and vanilla and beat well.  Add flour.  Then add choc chips and nuts.  Mix well.  Cover and chill 30 minutes. 

Shape mixture into 1 inch balls.  Cover and freeze balls until firm.

Melt choc chips and shortening in a glass bowl in the microwave.  Using two forks quickly dip frozen truffles in chocolate, coating completely.  Place on wax paper to harden.  Store truffles in refrigerator.

Yield: approximately 4 1/2 dozen
