These Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffles are great alone for just snacking but also wonderful to use in a variety of desserts.
Left in the comments by one of my most favorite people of all time was a request for more snickerdoodle stuff.
So since I do big puffy heart her I am going to oblige her.
That and it’s not too hard to convince me to make something snickerdoodle flavored (twist my arm).
It’s funny that the vast majority of people who I adore and have been positive influences in my life (with the exception of my hockey peeps) have all come as a result of this blog.
If nothing else ever comes from me having this blog, the friendships that I have made from it have made any amount of time spent keeping this blog a float all worthwhile.
It’s even is worth all the caramel burns. 🙂
They (whoever THEY are) say that the Internet often isolates and keeps people from having real life relationships.
I can see that in some ways.
And I think what is nice about the Internet is the fact that it allows me to search out and find people who I have things in common with.
Or are just good peeps that I could throw back some beers with instead of having to pick from what is just around me (no offense to my local friends 😛 ).
Some of those are people who are merely acquaintances.
The kind of people that I would meet up with for dinner if they were in town.
And some are people I would give money to and go at someone with a hockey stick if they asked.
They have done the same for me (well not the hockey stick…but it could happen).
One of the blessings (friend) that came into my life from my blog said to me when I commented about all of my good friends have either come from hockey or this blog was “passions bring good things to people”.
That’s a good quote, I like that.
I have two passions in my life: hockey and food…so really that makes total sense.
It also helps that hockey peeps and food lovers are for the most part pretty awesome human beings.
Oh sure there is always a rotten apple now and then…but that’s okay because then I can write about them on this blog and exploit them for ad revenue. 😛
Suck that mean people.
These Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffles are a take on the chocolate chip cookie dough truffles.
The ones I made for the ever hip expanding Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake which is excellent for all your post break up needs. 🙂
But I prefer sugar cookies and snickerdoodles to chocolate chip cookies (I know shoot me).
Plus I like any excuse to throw nutmeg into something.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffles
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat treated if you have safety concerns)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. cream of tartar
- Cinnamon sugar for rolling truffles in
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl add the flour, spices, salt, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer (or a bowl and beaters), cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in vanilla.
- With speed on low, slowly add flour mixture, alternating with condensed milk, beat well after each addition.
- Shape balls into 1-inch balls and place into an air tight container. Roll them into the cinnamon sugar just like you would a snickerdoodle cookie. Store in freezer for at least 3 hours.
- How many you get really depends on what you think a 1 inch ball looks like. 🙂 I will be using these in the next several recipes so be on the lookout.

Those are terrific and surely addictive! I love cookie dough anything.

i think that perhaps you can form good relationships on the web… but it takes time and common sense (be smart and safe, people). I hope to win the Microplane 40020 Classic Zester/Grater … i don’t have a zester but want one.
Diane says
I think you can make real relationships over the internet, but only friendships. Not romantic relationships. If the friendship, after you’ve met several times IRL, develops into a romantic relationship, then it will probably be a very good, long lasting relationship.
Blog is the New Black says
THese look awesome and I totally agree you can foster good relationships on the internet!
Rodzilla says
I think you, and your friend nailed it. If I happen to be selected for the microplane, please gift it to your friend 🙂
Dana says
I would’ve never thought to make snickerdoodle truffles. I’ve never been a meet-people-online kind of person, but not because I don’t believe in it. I hate zesting by hand, a zester would be wonderful!
Panya says
Yes, I believe so. The only friendships I have’re found/maintained on the internet.
Rachel says
I think relationships can definitely be started online, but eventually they need to move to face to face.
And I’m ashamed to admit that I actually don’t own a zester. So I could use one, thanks for the chance!
Katie says
These look so good!
And yes, I think you can form friendships through the internet, but I think face to face interaction is important in pursuing a romantic relationship
Becca - Cookie Jar Treats says
Mm I love cookie dough stuff. But I’ve never tried eating snickerdoodle cookie dough…it’s a foreign concept to me. But I want to make this and eat it all 🙂
And yes, I do think really good elationships can form over the internet. I’m not very outgoing and I’m socially awkward. Some of my best friends are from the internet and most of the people I admire are from the internet.
Jean says
wow, the truffles look so yummy!
I think the internet is great for meeting/making friends. It’s made the world a smaller place and we are all connected.
Alla says
You added 2 cups of flour and did not bake these cookies. Is it OK to eat them after 3 hour in refregirator? I think, it should be baked first.
Peabody says
@Ally- yes you don’t bake these…because of no eggs you can eat them raw. They are more of a candy than a cookie. Store them in the freezer in an airtight container until you are ready to eat.
Anna says
The internet is a great tool for making new friends, since you can connect with people all over the world who share your interests. It also facilitates easy communication between friends you’ve already made, and provides more opportunity to share parts of your life with these people through social media.
That said, I think it’s still important to maintain physical interaction with some friends. Otherwise we might all turn into crazy cat people.
Hayley says
I feel the same way about my blog and meeting awesome new friends, too! I feel so fortunate that I can connect with people I’d otherwise probably never meet. It rocks! These truffles also rock–like, a lot. Tasty little spheres of heaven, come to mama.
Gwyn says
I would love the microplane zester/grater, I can never find the one I have… way too many gadgets and small kitchen!!!
I love your snickerdoodle cookies, they are the best.
laurie says
You know how I feel about this. Id cut a bitch for you. 😉 I will meet you at some point. I know this. We will drink lots of beers and be merry. After all, you live in Seattle. And thats my Mecca.
Thank you for humoring me with your culinary genius. Im going to make these for the boys this weekend. They are gluttons for snickerdoodle anything. Smart boys. Im raisin’ em right.
And I dont own a zester. Ive been making due with a 4 sided grater.
Bobbi says
The internet provided a pathway to a person but it was the work we did together in the effort that was made that made the friendship. Real friendships happen in all sorts of places.
The internet is really great at allowing me connections to people but I have to be good at discerning am I a fan? a follower? a friend? Sometimes I’m only a fan but occasionally it becomes more. Something solid and real outside of the bytes and bits floating out here.
For the record I don’t have a microplane yet. Sad I know!
Amy L says
I think you can form a sort-of friendship on the internet, but not a genuine romantic relationship.
Melissa says
These look amazing! I love snickerdoodles, but I don’t make them nearly enough.
I definitely think true relationships can be formed online. You can get to know a lot about someone from what they write on their blog!
And, I must be in the minority because I do not own a microplane. Oh the sadness! I’d love to win one though 🙂
carrie says
Yum! These look easy and tasty! And you’re right: it’s nice to have more than one zester (or other gadget you use often). Can’t wait to try these – may even try a half recipe since I have an opened can of condensed milk in the fridge right now!
Mrs. L says
I suck at online friendships. I just really don’t know how. Always afraid I’ll overstep and people will think I’m stalking or something if I e-mail too much etc. So I just don’t. Sigh.
But these little truffles? Bet I could make friends if I had these to pass out!
Hockey and Food. Passions. Knew there was a reason I liked you 🙂
Nance says
At first I was a skeptic, then years ago I was parentally snooping on what was then my son’s #1 passion the internet. In the process I randomly spoke to someone in a group. Innocent at first but now this person is my best friend. Most ppl I met was because of my father so you have to wonder but this was just and still is a pure friendship.
Erika says
I think you can form real relationships. Just have to be careful.
And of course I need another microplane!
nancy says
SINCE I MET MY HUSBAND ONLINE AND WE BECAME FRIENDS AND TALKED ONLINE FOR THE FIRST FEWS MONTHS BEFORE METTING IRL I SAY YES YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS ONLINE. SOMETIMES THEY ARE ONLY ONLINE FRIENDS BUT SOMETIMES THEY BECOME IRL FRIENDS AS WELL. I HAVE FOUND BOTH. I WOULD ALSO LOVE THE MICROPLANER SO COOL
Lauren says
I meet some one form facebook and I had no idea who he is. The person that I meet is really nice and we have a lot of things in common. So yes it is possible to meet and become friends with someone through the internet.
Corinne says
I am also one of those happy to admit I prefer sugar or snickerdoodle cookies to chocolate chip. I also am one of th
Corinne says
….and my button pressing skills fail. Needless to say I also fail at having a micro plane because i don’t have one. xD
Juli says
Thanks for the giveaway!! I think you can definitely form real relationships just over the internet. I have a few friends that I’ve talked to for many years online, we met in person a few times, and now I consider them to be close friends.
Linda says
I think so, but you have to be careful. Internet relationships can be super one-dimentional, as people tend to filter what they put out into the internet. But that doesn’t mean a slightly superficial relationship can’t develop into more. Real life relationships do the same thing.
suzanne says
Yes, you can form relationships on the internet. I have met several people on line that I truly consider real life friends.
Karen says
Your last comment reminded me of when I met you in person (at the communal table at Herb Farm) and you extolled the virtues of the name Peabody to us. Alas that baby and the following one have been boys so no Peabody for us. I would however like another microplane.
Kim says
I definitely think real friendships can start online! I have a mutual admiration society thing going on with an online friend. We share in each other successes, she inspired me to start an exercise program, and though we have briefly met in real life, we’re great friends online.
Also, I love my Microplane, but I have been thinking that I need a second. One for sweet one for savory, maybe?
Kaycee says
Yes, I do think you can make real friends via the Internet.
Kelsey says
I may or may not hate you for this. (they look so amazing!) I LOVE Snickerdoodle stuff! <3
stacy says
I think you can form real relationships! You just have to be smart, safe and spend time on it (like any friendship!) And I don’t have a microplane zester!
Annamaria @bakewell junction says
Snickerdoodles are relatively new to me. I’d never made before this year but they turned out wonderfully. The cookie must be fantastic.
You can form friendships over the internet, especially if you’re a blogger.
I could use the microplane too.
KG says
I met my best friend over the internet. Call me lame, I dare anyone to. I was suffering from depression and a few other disorders at once, and I was withdrawing from people I could physically see and feel, because I thought they looked at me with disgust. This internet girl pulled me out of it and now we’ve hung out face-to-face. I’ve met friends and I’ve reconnected with my family, thanks to her. So, yes, I believe you can form real relationships over the internet. Just not in 5 minutes on skype with some guy that randomly added you and says “ur hot”. 🙂
Jenn P says
My daughter just found this recipe today & made them all by herself (she is 12). Everyone LOVED them! Also, yes you can form online friendships for sure! I have several and will be meeting one of them in 2 weeks!
kamaile says
I definitely think real relationships can develop over the internet. I have a few friends I met gaming online and we still get together and chat even though we don’t game together anymore. I also have lots of friends who have met their significant other online. I think it’s awesome that the internet allows us to “meet” people from all over the world.
Sarah says
I do think you can form real relationships over the internet–one of my closest friends only became a friend two years ago through the internet–she lives in another state and we see each other a few times a year, but most of our communication is through email and now texting.
Ellen says
I’ve never formed any lasting relationships online, although at times I have found real support in others online. I’ve always followed this blog because it feels like I’m hanging out with an old friend talking my two favorite things: hockey and food!
Ilona t says
You definitely can form real relationships!
jacquie says
why ever in the world would you not be able to???? it is all about how “authentic” people are and not about location. why would meeting someone in a bar make it any more likely that a “true” relationship would result???
Caralyn @ glutenfreehappytummy says
wow those look incredible! and so “poppable!” thanks for sharing!
Rhonda says
Um…YUM! These look amazing, I have not made any cookie dough truffles since I do not love chocolate chips or oreos…well not enough to eat a bunch, but snickerdoodles?!? yes…I could eat them all!
And yes you can form real friendships online, sometimes it is nice for someone to not know all of your dirty laundry and love you anyway 🙂 As for the first born, he already has a name but you can have him anyway…you could use a 12 year old boy right?
Jillian says
Wow! I love reading all your concoctions – these are totally brilliant!!!
Danielle says
I’ve never formed relationships online but I’m sure its possible.
Holly says
I have always wanted a microplane! I don’t even have a box heater with a fine side. Made GF cranberry orange scones this week and had to grate my orange peel on my handheld large hole grater!
Common sense is definitely needed when forming new relationships via the internet. It worked for me! I wanted to marry someone in my same religion and there weren’t many options available…so I explored my options online and met an amazing, God fearing man who has changed my life!
LeeH says
I agree with MrsL, I worry people will think I’m a stalker. I commented on a blog I found through a friend’s blog, and she freaked out that there were ‘strangers’ reading her blog. I know, more her problem than mine but it makes me hesitate.
Still, I like you and believe we would be friends if we were neighbors. I need face-to-face I think.
Cheers! These truffles will be a hit
Tiffany says
I think you can maintain relationships but not form them over the Internet.
Rachel says
I believe that yes, you can form solid relationships via the Internet. I’ve met people through online gaming or chatting that I still keep in touch with. Plus I met my husband online.
On a side note, I would love to win the microplane grater as I do not own one.
Vicki says
I personally don’t believe I could form meaningful relationships over the internet, but I know some people can. I’m just different in person, so I don’t think i would be successful at the internet friendship thing. I would love to win, since I don’t own a microplane zester :)!
JenB says
I definitely think I’ve made solid relationships online. It’s easier to find people with mutual interests, and if it only takes time I’m likely to look friends up. I recently reconnected with early childhood friends, plus made new ones of people my husband went to school with, and their spouses. I even met mommy friends for playgroups online, on the mothers n more website.
Cheryl W. says
Absolutely I believe that real relationships can form over the internet. I have a very dear friend who I met over the internet. I have never met her in person, but it is as if she is near, because she has a special place in my heart.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter!
ShanitaC says
I believe wholeheartedly you can form friendships online. About a decade ago I used to write in an online diary…to this day, I am still friends with the ones I have managed to keep in touch with. We formed our friendships so easily because at first, we were not judged, but just there as a comforting voice to each other…I wish it were as easy to form such friendships in real life.
TK says
Mmm. Snickerdoodles are my absolute favorite!
I believe you can form relationships via the internet but you would need to eventually meet them face to face for it to last.
Megan P. says
I think it can work for some people, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for most people. My whole though on internet dating is “Put the mouse down and get out in the world!”
karen says
I’ve had many nice positive exchanges over the internet, but haven’t formed any real relationships. But I’m not a blogger, just a user! But my observation is that many many people have formed very significant relationships online.
tiffany says
Those balls look so good! I think you can definitely form friendships through the internet, especially from blogs or chat boards or even facebook.
Joann says
Sure do! Online dating got me my wonderful boyfriend! 🙂
Elaine says
The internet can be another way of meeting people, how you meet, or if it is ever face to face is what builds on the relationship.
Leigh Ann says
Yes, I definitely believe you can form a meaningful relationship online. But I feel like it might take more work and time than a face-to-face relationship because you miss out on the insights you get from observing nonverbal communication (eg, body language).
RecipeNewZ says
I found this post though Pinterest. The photo was so beautiful that I just had to come here to read the recipe! Love it! And love your site :-).
I would like to invite you to share this post (and your other posts 🙂 ) on a new photo based recipe sharing site that launched in May. The idea is simple: all recipe photographs are published within minutes of submission. And, of course, the images link back to the author’s site.
I hope you get a chance to visit and to share some of your delicious posts with our viewers. It would be a pleasure to have you on board 🙂
Amelia B. says
Well Pea – you know i think real relationships can form online, because that’s how i met you 🙂
Love microplanes, but i only have one – keep meaning to buy a second one because somehow mine is perpetually in the dishwasher!
Davita says
i think a real relationship can be formed, but i think there is power in real human tough and connection. getting to see people face to face, hold hands, hug, and really see them is important. though that doesn’t take anything away from the internet relationship.
Carrie H. says
Hmm … I’ve used the Internet more for maintaining friendships with people I’ve known for years vs. making new friends, but I don’t rule it out. One of my favorite things about blogging is the supportive community of fellow bloggers. 🙂
I don’t have a microplane grater, so I would like to win one. 🙂
Chris says
I have an on-line friend I “found” when in the where-are-all-our-classmates mode. Actually, she found me first…but neither one of us has any recollection of the other from high school days! We seem to get along quite well now that we’ve finally connected though! I can’t wait to meet her someday. I will HAVE to meet her someday!
My zester seems to always be dirty when I need it…so another would be handy!
Tracey C. says
These look amazing! Can’t wait to make them.
I’ve been forming long-lasting relationships via the internet since 1988, starting with my first fiance, and going through two marriages and a number of other relationships (some just friends, some not). So I’m a big believer 🙂
Natasha P. says
Happy Blogiversary!
Natasha P. says
Sorry – disregard my last comment because I am an idiot and didn’t read what we were supposed to comment about – good times. Anyway, I have never formed any kind of relationship over the internet, so my instinct is to say no, but it sounds as though you have proven my theory wrong. Guess it depends on the person.
Diana says
I think you can absolutely form relationships over the Internet. Through my cooking and photography blogs, I have connected with people who share common interests and with whom I have meaningful friendships. I also met my boyfriend online. I think what’s key in doing so is weeding out who’s honest about who they are from who’s only presenting you with their beautiful online life.
On a side note, I am grater-less and would love to remedy that.
Helen says
I think it’s possible to start a meaningful relationship online, but the transition to a real-life relationship may be awkward at first.
Bebe says
Can you form real relationships on-line? Heck yah! Some of my closest friends including you I met online. I do think to have the relationships and trust go to the next level in person has to be involved but I don’t feel it is necessary.
Jenn says
I think you can have platonic relationships but not romantic relationships. I think romantic relationships can start online but it takes in person interaction to really get to know a person and decide whether they are meant to be.
Brenda says
While I was searching your recipe for cooking time, I saw your question about internet friendship. I have formed a friendship with another kindred spirit. I say that because I don’t know when it turned into that. All I know is we are both caregiver and would share our stories
about our love ones and could get by with saying things that sometimes would be hard to hear from someone who has not walked in our shoes. We respect each others opinion and love the honesty. Her mother has Alzheimer and my son has Down’s Syndrome and Autism.
PS> Do you cook the snickerdoodle cookies?
Vicki Tunell says
These were really great, thanks for all your great recipes!
angie says
Do these have to be stored in the freezer? or do they just need to set in the freezer for at least 3 hours and then can be stored in the fridge?
Thanks!!
Peabody says
Just in the freezer to set up.
