3ounces(85g)cream cheese - light cream cheese works great
1cup(180g)semi-sweet chocolate chips
1tablespoon(12 g)vegetable shortening
Instructions
Crush 6 ounces baked chocolate chip cookies. You can put them in a zippered plastic bag and flatten with a rolling pin. It's easier to use a food processor and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 ounces cream cheese and process or mix until the mixture holds together. Expect the mixture to be dark in color.
If you have them, put on plastic gloves and form cookie mixture into 1-inch balls. I like to use a small ice cream dipper to get uniformity. Place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper or a silicone baking sheet. Refrigerate.
Place 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stirring to melt. Add time in very small increments to finish melting if necessary.
Dip balls into melted chocolate with fork until completely covered. Return balls to wax paper or silicone baking sheet and chill until chocolate is hard.
Notes
If you don't want to mess with the dipping, try rolling the balls in powdered sugar or cocoa.
