Contest-Winning Chocolate Truffle Cookies image

Here's a snack for serious chocolate lovers. These enticing cookies are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, somewhat bittersweet and very chocolaty. I usually make them to share at get-togethers. Otherwise, I'd eat them all myself! I'm always asked for the recipe. -Delaine Fortenberry, McComb, Mississippi

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The cookies still turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The truffle filling is really what makes them.
