Amaretto Pecan Cookie Dough Truffles

  • Author: olivia

  • Yield: 36 pieces 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Delightful no-bake truffles blending rich pecan and amaretto flavors with a creamy cookie dough center, coated in dark chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 cups finely chopped pecans
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag dark chocolate melts
  • Amaretto oil, to taste

Instructions

  1. Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy.
  2. Add the vanilla extract, salt, and milk, and beat again until fully combined.
  3. Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 1 minute to treat it. Allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Gradually add the heated flour and chopped pecans to the butter mixture, mixing until completely combined.
  5. Roll the dough into 36 even-sized balls. Place the dough balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Melt the dark chocolate according to the package directions and stir until smooth and creamy. Add a few drops of amaretto oil to the chocolate and stir until well-mixed, tasting to adjust the amount of amaretto oil if desired.
  7. Use a toothpick to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat it completely. Gently tap the toothpick on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and place the dipped truffles back onto the wax paper-lined tray. Allow to set for a few seconds before gently twisting out the toothpick.
  8. Heat the remaining chocolate again if needed, spoon it into a plastic bag or squeeze bottle, and drizzle it over the tops of the truffles to cover any toothpick marks. Allow the drizzle to set.
  9. Once fully set, store the truffles in a sealed container, either on the counter or in the refrigerator.

Notes

Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing. Adjust the amount of amaretto oil based on your taste preference. Use quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
