Truffle Brownie Cookies Bring This Mother's Day Dessert Board to a New Level of Sweetness

Why give mom one dessert for Mother's Day when she can have a whole array of her favorite goodies?

Since I was a child, my favorite candy from Harry & David has been its truffles. So, what better way to celebrate Mother's Day than to share these sweet and dreamy treats that bring back such fond memories?!

Truffles melt very easily, making them perfect in this decadent brownie cookie recipe that will be the focal point of your Mother's Day dessert board. I used the truffles to make a dark chocolate reduction, which I then mixed into the cookie batter, making these cookies deep, rich, and impossible to resist.

Making the truffle brownie cookies

Reduce the truffles by melting and whisking them into a smooth, deliciously drip-worthy consistency. This is the only chocolate these cookies need, and the truffle flavor shines through brilliantly. Just make sure to check the chocolate often when using the microwave (or melt it slowly over low heat if using the stove) since chocolate can burn easily.

Besides the melted truffles, you only need seven other simple ingredients to create these little chocolate gems. The cookies come out perfectly soft and are wonderful either eaten plain or dipped in melted chocolate. You could even top them with fruit and ice cream and turn them into a base for a delightful sundae.
