Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffles

These truffles accompanied the more traditional cookie dough truffles to the American themed pot luck dinner we went to the other week. Mel stumbled across the idea here, and passed it on to me to adapt when she heard about the dinner. They look good huh?! Well, it gets better, they are hiding something from you… every truffle has a rolo in the middle, deliciously wicked!

Ingredients:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
100 grams butter, softened
⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons cream
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
24 Rolo chocolates
3 tablespoons sugar
¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Method:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon and salt, set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter, brown sugar and ¼ cup sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Mix in cream and vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together second measures of sugar and cinnamon.
Scoop dough out one even tablespoon at a time, then press one Rolo  into the centre of each scoop of dough and roll into a ball.
Roll each dough ball into cinnamon sugar mixture. Chill or serve immediately.
Store Cookie Dough Bites in refrigerator. 

If you like these and haven’t tried the biscuits I suggest you give them a go or make this blondie – snickerdoodle style!
