Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Bite size goodies are perfect for the holidays…pop one in your mouth and move on to the next yummy thing! I always want to try everything…but I don’t necessarily want a piece of every single pie! So, this is my compromise.

Paleo Cookie Dough Truffles

Ingredients for dough balls:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup grassfed butter, softened (or coconut oil)
  • 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup mini enjoy life chocolate chips

Ingredients for coating:

  • dark chocolate

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond meal, salt and cinnamon then add the butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix well.
Fold in the chocolate chips, then drop batter by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat, or parchment paper.
Put in the freezer so they don’t melt when you dip them in chocolate.
After 30 minutes in the freezer, melt 3/4 bar of dark chocolate or melt dark chocolate chips.
Roll the frozen dough balls in the chocolate and put back on the lined baking sheet. Put them in the freezer to set! I sprinkled mine with a little course salt, too. ;)
