The last few weeks have been crazy with all the baking, shopping, wrapping and decorating.  It’s easy sometimes to choose the fastest possible gifts and decor solutions when you are pressed for time.  Keep in mind, however, that making homemade gifts gives a personal touch to your holiday gift giving.  I have been making homemade candy for my family, friends and neighbors for years and this year I added a new one.  This chocolate chip cookie dough truffle recipe is incredibly easy to make.  Your gift recipient will love the personal touch you put into your holiday giving.  Don’t worry, you can find all the ingredients in your local grocery store. I also love that there are NO special tools required!  You can add a bit of pizzazz by sprinkling on some colored sprinkles and putting them in pretty paper cups, but those steps are totally optional!  Let me know if you try this chocolate chip cookie dough truffle recipe…I would love to know how it turns out for you!  If you want more inspiration, check out these chocolate chip cookie dough truffle recipes on Pinterest!
