Ingredients
2 cups crumbled sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade)
4 oz (half a block) cream cheese, softened
12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Festive sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Base:
Place the crumbled sugar cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely ground. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated and a dough-like consistency forms.
Shape the Truffles:
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm.
Melt the White Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Coat the Truffles:
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate:
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with festive decorations. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing.
Pro Tips
Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality white chocolate melts better and creates a smoother coating.
Chill the Filling: Ensuring the truffles are firm before dipping makes them easier to coat.
Customize Flavors: Add a few drops of peppermint, almond, or vanilla extract to the filling for a unique twist.
Storage: Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to a month.
