Steps:
- Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add flour, alternately with sweetened condensed milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Using a small cookie scoop, make 1-inch balls and place them on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or coating will scorch. Dip the dough balls in the chocolate coating, allowing any excess to drip off. Place on waxed-paper lined baking sheets and sprinkle the truffles with additional toffee pieces. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM
Steps:
- Make the Cookie Dough: Cream the butter in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand-held beater) until soft and fluffy. Add both sugars and mix. Add the vanilla and 1 egg and mix. Add the remaining egg and mix. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix. Add the chips and mix just until just combined.
- Using your hands, roll the dough into a long thin rope; then cut into small bits. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the Ice Cream Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half, cream, and vanilla, whisking occasionally, to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat and let the flavors infuse for 10 minutes. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. In a thin stream, whisk half of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg-cream mixture back into the saucepan containing the rest of the cream mixture.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. At 160 degrees F., the mixture will give off a puff of steam. When the mixture reaches 180 degrees F, it will be thickened and creamy, like eggnog. (If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture. Run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the stripe remains clear, the mixture is ready; if the edges blur, the mixture is not quite thick enough.) When it is ready, quickly remove it from the heat.
- Meanwhile, put 2 handfuls of ice cubes in the bottom of a bowl, and add cold water to cover. Rest a smaller bowl in the ice water. Pour the cream mixture through a fine sieve (to remove the vanilla bean pieces and cinnamon sticks) into the smaller bowl. Chill for 3 hours.
- Freeze the cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Meanwhile, put a bowl in the freezer. When the ice cream is frozen, remove the bowl from the freezer, and transfer the ice cream to it. Fold in the chocolate chip cookie dough (you may not need all of it). Pack the ice cream into sealable containers and return to the freezer. (Make cookies: bake any leftover dough in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.)

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH STUFFED CUPCAKES
This recipe by the author of "Funky Foodgasm A Pornographer of Food" caught my eye and I just had to post it...

- Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the baking soda and salt. Set aside (see Cook's Note).

Steps:
- For the cookie dough: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla and mix on medium speed until smooth. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add the wafer crumbs and the mini chocolate chips. Mix until a dough forms.
- Line an 8-inch square cake pan with a sheet of plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on two sides. Press half of the cookie dough into the prepared pan, making it as level as possible. Using the plastic wrap, gently pull this sheet of cookie dough out of the pan, transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet and freeze with the plastic wrap attached.
- Line the same pan with two 8-by-13-inch sheets of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Press the remaining cookie dough into the prepared pan and freeze while you make your ice cream. Wash and dry the stand mixer bowl.
- For the ice cream: In a blender, combine the milk, granulated sugar, milk powder and salt. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar. Add the corn syrup and vanilla and blend on high for another 10 seconds. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form. Use a whisk to fold the milk mixture into the whipped cream. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- To assemble the ice cream sandwiches: Remove both batches of cookie dough from the freezer. Spread the ice cream over the cookie dough in the cake pan. Peel the plastic wrap off of the remaining sheet of cookie dough. Gently lay the dough on the ice cream. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and place in the back of your freezer overnight or for up to 2 days.
- Use the parchment to lift the ice cream sandwiches out of the cake pan. Use a sharp knife or a serrated knife to score into 9 bars and then cut completely. Serve immediately or refreeze after cutting (see Cook's Note).

Steps:
- To make dough in food processor fitted with metal blade: put the flour, cocoa, sugar and salt in work bowl and pulse just to blend.
- Add butter and pulse 8-10 times, until pieces are about the size of small peas.
- With machine running, add yolk and ice water and process, in short bursts, until JUST crumbly- don't overwork it!
- Turn it out onto the work surface and, working with small portions, smear the dough across the surface with the heel of your hand.
- Gather the dough together and shape it into a rough square.
- Pat it down to compress it slightly, and wrap in plastic.
- Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- The dough can remain in the refrigerator for 3 days, or it can be wrapped airtight and frozen for a month.
- Thaw the dough, still wrapped, overnight in the refrigerator before rolling it out.
- Cook's note: When I made this, I stuck the dough in the freezer to chill, then promptly forgot about it.
- 4 hours later, when I remembered to pull it out, it was frozen solid.
- I pulled out my box grater and grated it directly into the pie pan.
- It worked beautifully, no roling involed: just patted it all down into place.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the dough will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour and make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and makes it easier to work with.
- Bake the dough at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature helps to prevent the dough from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Do not overbake the dough. Overbaking can make the dough dry and crumbly. Bake the dough just until it is set.
- Let the dough cool completely before serving. Allowing the dough to cool completely helps to set the flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Chocolate dough is a versatile ingredient that can be used to make a variety of delicious treats. With a few simple tips, you can make chocolate dough that is perfect for your next baking project. Whether you are making cookies, brownies, or cake, chocolate dough is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
