Got a delicious tongue twister for ya! Triple Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake Cookies.
It’s actually only a tongue twister if you try saying if five times fast, but you know I love my wordy titles.
SO. I am just going to make this short and sweet for you today, because I really think you should just drop whatever you are doing at the moment and start making these cookies.
Like if you haven’t left for work yet, go make the dough now so it can sit in the fridge and you can then eat warm cookies when you return home tonight. Yes, yes, yes. <–Do it.
Your Tuesday will be made if you make these. MADE.
Originally, I was thinking these would be awesome cookies to give as gifts, but then we all tried them and realized there was no way that any sane person could actually NOT eat all of these before wrapping them up. I mean, warm? Right out of the oven? With a cold glass of milk?? Irresistible.
And seriously, if you are hoping for something pretty big from Santa this year, I would put these out on Christmas Eve. They’ll surely get you what you want.
Here is a fair warning for these cookies though – DANGEROUS WHEN WARM. If you love chocolate, you will not be able to stop at just one cookie. Especially if they are warm, so dangerous when warm.
These are that cookie that when you take a bite, your eyes roll back and your voice says, “Mmm” without even realizing you made a noise. These cookies are like a truffle, but better. No joke, really truffles have nothing on these cookies. They’re soft, and crazy fudgy, thanks to the cream cheese. So you see, gifting them might be kind of hard to do. BUT if you can somehow find a way not to eat them all yourself, they’d make a pretty great gift.
This is a pretty simple cookie to make. Of course it involves a boat load of chocolate. Clearly.
Some eggs, some butter, some vanilla and umm maybe just a little Kahlua because it is December, and that’s just how I roll.
The only little bummer is if you want these cookies NOW, you can’t actually have them for like two hours because they need time to hang out in the fridge and get cozy with the eggnog (or in my case the milk because I am not really an eggnog person). The good news is, you can make double or even triple batches of the dough and just keep them in the fridge all the way up until Christmas. That way, you can have chocolate truffle cookies at a moment’s notice. Think surprise guests, hungry boys – oh, and these are perfect for those times when you just need some serious chocolate. We all know it happens, so why not be prepared!

So let’s go make cookies!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! THIS is epic! These cookies calling (screaming!) my name. 🙂
Thank you!
These cookies – swooooon! I want to eat ALL OF THEM!
Thanks Jessica!
I can only imagine how amazing these taste when they’re warm! Love all the different toppings on these!
Thanks Lisa!
What percent cacao are you using for ‘dark’ chocolate? Some use the term interchangeably with semi sweet – others darker. Thanks.
Hey Anita,
I use Hersey’s special dark. It does not say the percentage on the box, sorry!
Thanks. That’s good stuff. Internet says it’s 45%. Can’t wait to try these!
Every time I think I know which recipe of yours I am bringing to our holiday party this year, you top it with something even better!
Haha! YEAH! 🙂
Thank you!
Looks divine xxx

Thanks!
Can I just quit school and bake with you? These look amazing! Like always 🙂
That would be awesome! 🙂
But stay in school…it’s always the smart way to go!
Oh. My. Word. Ok, so I would totally make these but I have no cream cheese and we are in the middle of a Nor’easter here!
I love the Christmas tree sprinkles! Pinning !!
Oh man! 🙁
Thanks so much, Kathy!
When I want something really gooood to prepare, I know where to search 🙂
Awe!! THANK YOU! This makes me so happy! 🙂
You are a Goddess. No more things to say…:)
Thank you!
This makes me not want to go to work today and make the dough now. They are so pretty too!
Do it! 🙂
Thanks Lauren!
I love how you decorated these! So so cute! And who wouldn’t want a chocolate filled cookie straight from the oven? My only regret is that I am already at work, so I have to wait all day before I can make these 🙁
Oh man! Work, it’s always the issue. 🙁
Thanks so much!
Mmmmmm [eyes rolling back in head]
Just from reading it
haha! Thank you!
Oh my if I made these when my husband was home he would go into a chocolate coma from over eating. HAHAHA!!! We are so into eating warm cookies any time I make them. Warm is best!!! 3 eggs with just 3/4 cup of flour is sure different.
HAHA! Thanks Charlotte!
The low amount of flour and the 3 eggs makes these super rich.
I can totally see why you devoured these cookies! They’re gorgeous!
Thanks Katrina!
