I spent the better part of a day baking, photographing, and then eating these decadent Chocolate Truffle Cookies … oh. my. heavens… be sure to put this one on your holiday baking list. They’re like a cross between a truffle and a snowball; totally down my alley.
But now the kitchen in an epic mess, I need to have shower to get all the cocoa off me, and I think I’ve gained 5 pounds. Egads, I feel like I’ve been up to no good.
Don’t let all that put you off. If you don’t want to eat them all, you could package them into little containers and give as gifts … (ahem) that’s if you don’t want to eat them all …
Photographic ingredients: chocolate, brown paper, and one kitchen utensil.

one of those cookies you could die if you inhale while you take a bite. :)
Oh my word ! The truffles look so decadent ! I love your photos, the light is wonderful. ( I had a grater in mind for a prop too ! )
I’m certainly going to try them. If they taste half as good as they look in these beautiful photos…they’ll still be delicious!
These truly look awesome. Not sure if I would dare to try them or not. Had an experience last year trying out an old family recipe for carmels. I think I ate them all, although I diligently wrapped them up carefully to gift to others, and then, one by one, unwrapped them and ate them. UGH! Bet these are just as good. Hope you are having a great fall, and good to see you again. I have been pretty remiss this summer wiht my blogging, but hoping to get back on the bandwagon. Best to you from Texas!
