Prep Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon coffee extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon instant coffee
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups flour
1 - 10 ounce bag white chocolate melts
1/4 cup caramel baking bits
2 teaspoons water
sea salt
Instructions
Beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the extract and salt and beat again.
Stir the instant coffee into the milk until dissolved. Pour the milk into the butter mixture alternately with the cocoa powder and flour. Beat until everything is combined.
Roll the cookie dough into 36 balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until hard.
Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions. Use a toothpick and dip the truffles in the chocolate. Tap off the excess chocolate and set on wax paper to set.
Place the caramel bits and water in a small sauce pan. Heat on medium until melted and creamy. Let cool for a minute or two.
Drizzle the caramel over the truffles and sprinkle with sea salt before it sets up. Store in a loosely sealed container for 2-3 days. Refrigerate if keeping longer.
Notes
Use vanilla extract if you can't find the coffee extract.
