Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package soft sugar cookies (about 24 cookies)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white almond bark
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
- Festive sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a rubber spatula or clean hands until the mixture is completely combined and holds together when pressed.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up before dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. If using, stir in the coconut oil or shortening for a thinner consistency.
- Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Immediately place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, top with festive sprinkles.
- Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- If you use store-bought frosted cookies, reduce the cream cheese slightly, as the frosting adds extra moisture and sweetness.
- For a smoother coating, temper your chocolate or use high-quality melting wafers designed for dipping.
- These make-ahead sweets store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
