Raw Cookie Dough

I saw this today on Priscilla's Baking Adventures: Already At #2?? and it made me so hungry for cookie dough. I'm posting this partly to bookmark a tempting recipes and partly for the fantastic substitution of condensed milk for eggs to make raw cookie dough safely edible. I don't mean that I don't eat eggs-in cookie dough, but I always eat a spoonfull or too and then think Aaaah! Salmonella! and then look longingly at the rest of the bowl.

"Cookie Dough Truffles"
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1-1/2 pounds semisweet candy coating, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour, alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Shape into 1-in. balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip balls in coating, allowing excess to drip off; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. If desired, remelt remaining candy coating and drizzle over candies. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 5-1/2 dozen.
**I dropped the balls by a tablespoon onto the waxed paper in the size of 1-in. and then froze them. Once I froze them I then made them into balls and dipped them. So much easier!**
