St. Patrick's Day Cookie Dough Truffles

With St. Patrick's day being only 1 day away, I thought it was appropriate to post a delicious dessert recipe that celebrates the holiday. I absolutely love cookie dough and always have to remind myself to not eat it raw when I'm baking homemade cookies. These cookie dough truffles are scrumptious and they are so festive. These would be perfect for a gathering, so if you are having a party or just want to enjoy a sweet treat, definitely give these truffles a try.
