Cookie dough truffles

So as everyone knows, valentines day is coming up and, sweet jesus, what is a student to do after blowing all her money on christmas presents, but she has a boyfriend she wants to impress? Well I know both he and I love cookie dough and I remembered seeing this a little while ago and decided to make some! I found a safe-to-eat chocolate chip cookie dough recipe on Cupcake Project (I'll link it at the bottom). There should be quite a bit of leftover cookie dough, you can do with it what you will. I'm going to mix little bits of it with vanilla ice cream :)

you'll need:
(for the cookie dough)
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp milk
as many mini chocolate chips as you want
(for the chocolate)
I chose milk and white chocolates to melt in different bowls, milk chocolate for covering it, and white chocolate for decorating
whatever decorations you want :)

1. mix all the cookie dough ingredients together in a bowl, that's it!
2. cover it and put it in the fridge for half an hour
3. cover a baking sheet with wax paper
4. pull the bowl out of the fridge and roll it into 3/4 inch (in diameter) balls, put them on the wax paper and then back in the fridge for another 45 minutes
  -all this waiting time would be great to make lunch, watch your favourite show, get some studying done, do laundry, etc...-
5. melt your chocolate(s) in a double boiler and pull your cookie pan out of the fridge
6. dip each ball in, make sure it's covered with chocolate and then take them out with a fork and put them back on the cookie sheet. before they cool down you should put any sprinkles/candies you want on them. if you want to decorate them with the white chocolate let it cool down first, do the white chocolate and then if you want put the candies on.
7. stick it in the fridge overnight just to be safe and voila!
