Chocolate Chip Truffle Cookies??

[Jollyjo]

I had one of these today at the local cafe - absolute heaven!
It was basically a chocolate chip cookie with a truffle in the middle of it. I've been searching for a recipe, but haven't come up with any. There are many companies that sell them, but I want to make them. Anyone have any ideas how?

Wow, this is uncanny that you posted this today because I just bought a Chocolate Chip Truffle Cookie at the bakery at Sutton's Marketplace in Queensbury, NY yesterday. It was delicious, and is exactly what you described! I, too, would love to find a recipe to make them at home! :)

I love Sutton's! My husband is from Lake George, so whenever we visit his family, I always head there. The also have fabulous carrot cake. Let's hope someone knows the secret of how to make these!

The problem with having unorganized recipes is that I can remember parts of the recipe, but can't find it! I have seen and intended to try a recipe that had a Lindt truffle in the center. I am not sure if it was dough wrapped around the truffle or made like the cookie with the Reese's peanut butter cup in the center. I will keep looking for the recipe.

:confused: If anyone has found this recipe, please post - I'm going crazy trying to duplicate it.

I've looked and did not find recipes using truffles but cookies with a "truffle" center when they are done baking. These sound good too!

kats8605 - I found this recipe on recipezaar. I put a small ball inside my regular chocolate chip cookies, and the results were good. I was looking for the truffle part to be softer than it turned out, but the taste was great!
