Cookie butter truffles

As if cookie butter wasn't delicious enough on it's own, this recipe makes it a dough and DIPS IT IN CHOCOLATE -  SCORE!!  We sprinkled ours with red and green sugar for Christmas festive-ness.

COOKIE BUTTER TRUFFLES
Makes 32

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 cup cookie butter
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 12-oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Crushed Speculoos cookies or sanding sugar to top

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Combine butter, confectioner's sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla in a bowl.  Mix on medium low with an electric mixer or stand mixer.  Use a small scoop to form 1-inch balls; roll with your hands to smooth, and place on the baking sheet.  Melt the chocolate chips and dip each ball into the chocolate with a fork, letting the excess chocolate drip off.  Place balls back on the baking sheet, sprinkle with your topping, and chill until firm.  Store in fridge.
