Cookie Truffles
40 pellets of diameter ~ 2cm
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of plain cookies, like Marias (on Latino markets) or plain butter cookies
- 1 can condensed milk
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Preparation:
- Grind the cookies very finely using a food processor or put them in a bag and crush using the rolling pin. My grandmother has a manual grinder that we use for this.
- Place crushed cookies in a large bowl and add 3/4 of the can of condensed milk, mix with a spoon, then by hand, add more condensed milk if necessary the idea is to be able to form a sticky dough, use more than you think you need, because they dry out a little after being form. Take spoonfuls and form balls working with your hands, rolled in cocoa powder and place in paper cups.
- Serve. Stored in an airtight container up to 3 days last.
