Description
Sugar Cookie Truffles are delightful no-bake treats combining crushed sugar cookies with cream cheese, coated in smooth white chocolate and optionally topped with sprinkles. Perfect for holiday celebrations or as a sweet bite-sized dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 2 cups crushed sugar cookies (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 1¼ cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
- Sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Crumbs: In a food processor, pulse sugar cookies until they become fine crumbs. Transfer these crumbs to a mixing bowl to proceed with the truffle base.
- Make Truffle Dough: Mix the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract into the cookie crumbs until a uniform dough forms that holds together when pressed.
- Form Truffle Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to firm up the truffles.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Return dipped truffles to the parchment paper.
- Add Garnish: Immediately sprinkle with desired sprinkles before the chocolate sets for a festive touch.
- Set Truffles: Let the coated truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and truffles are firm and ready to serve.
Notes
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- For different flavor variations, try using flavored sugar cookies such as lemon or almond to add a unique twist.
