*Giveaway* Getting Tasty w/Lissa Matthews

Today, Ladies & Gentlemen, I would like for you to put together a warm welcome for an awesome author...

Ms. Lissa Matthews...

 
I don't know what you're position is on truffles is, but hopefully your position, dear reader, on cookie dough is off the charts. And, because I've invested in a delightfully wonderful new cookbook and it's all about cookie dough desserts. Truffles, bars, ice cream, cookies, cakes... Y'all just don't know.

 Well, okay, one of you will know because I'm going to giveaway a copy of the cookbook. It has so much fun stuff in it, you'll be busy for a month, or two. Or maybe even three. You might be making several of these recipes more than once.

That's something fun about recipes. You find favorites and you just make them over and over again. People start wanting them more, as well. That's how Jane, from my book Melting Jane got her business with Edward. She made him truffles to cheer him up, and he couldn't get enough of them. They were made out of love and concern from one friend to another and that became the purpose behind their company, Kickin' Chocolate Truffles. Giving a little bite of comfort to those in need...  

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Yield: 3-4 dozen  
Prep Time: 1 hour  
Total Time: 2 1/2 hours  
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk or soy milk
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
14 oz dark chocolate candy coating

Directions: Beat butter and sugars and in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add soymilk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt and mix on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.

Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.

When dough is firm enough to handle (it may help to lightly flour your hands), form dough into 1" balls and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Place sheets in freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate candy coating in a double boiler or in microwave according to package directions. Using forks or a dipping tool, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Tap fork on side of pan to remove any excess coating, and return to waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until set. Store, chilled, in an airtight container for up to 1 week (though good luck making them last that long).

The cookie dough, even without eggs, tastes so amazing. These are very simple to make, and they don't last even 24 hours after being made. Can you say, ADDICTION?

  

Graham Hall is a twenty-six year old Texan with the job of his dreams. He's just finished his latest travel article and has earned some personal down time. With six months left on his cabin lease in the Colorado Rockies, Graham chooses to stick around and soon finds himself set up with a feisty, down on her luck in the love department candy maker named Jane.

Jane hates driving in the mountains in winter and isn't used to being outside the kitchen, but when she arrives at the small isolated cabin and gets a look at it's tenant, she quickly forgets all about that. Jane is tongue-tied and ticked off. She's been tricked.

Confrontations, slamming doors, and an extra cheese pizza later, Graham is caught up in Jane's tart tongue and curvy body. She denies her desire for him more times than she can count, and when she finally gives in, she is rewarded with scorching hot sex and a bliss she couldn't have imagined for herself.

Graham's persistence and unrelenting pursuit leads Jane to believe that maybe life doesn't have to revolve around chocolate truffles, but rather should revolve around a delicious, well traveled, sexy younger man.
