Tips:

  • Use fresh black truffles for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh truffles, you can use truffle oil or truffle paste, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh.
