Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles – Kids of all ages love to eat raw cookie dough, don’t they? I admit, I always sneak a taste when making cookies for my kids, too. There’s always concern about eating products with raw eggs, even though the risk is extremely low. There aren’t any eggs in these cookie dough truffles, so you can enjoy them without worrying.
This year, in place of cookies, we left these truffles out for Santa with a cup of eggnog for his Christmas Eve treat. I have it on good authority that he really enjoyed our thoughtfulness and not a crumb was left on the plate.

Do you have many egg less recipes? I have a student who can’t have eggs in food items in her diet.

I have some dishes that are naturally egg free but, not many sweets like this one.

Now the flour is the risk in not baking( raw cookie dough). 🙁
As if eggs were not enough of a concern they are finding e. Coli in flour, hence new concern in making yummy items like this ……what a downer!

How about replacing the egg with an egg replacer like ‘No Egg’ powder.
