Cookie Dough Truffles

I saw this cookie dough truffle recipe online and my mouth instantly started watering. I didn't have all the ingredients the recipe calls for, but I did have a bag of chocolate chip cookie mix in the pantry. So I improvised. I combined the cookie mix and one stick of butter as the recipe on the back of the bag calls for. I omitted the egg. I scooped the dough using my cookie scoop and placed them in the freezer. I ended up leaving them in the freezer longer than I originally intended, so before rolling them in chocolate I let them thaw for a bit in the fridge. I slowly melted dark chocolate chips in the microwave and rolled the dough balls in the chocolate. I let them sit for a while to dry. I served them at my family Christmas and they were a hit. They were sooo delicious! Rich but delish! To recap, this is what I used:

One bag cookie mix
One stick butter
Dark chocolate chips (Ghiradelli 60% are the best!!)
