Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 12 sugar cookies (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter)
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon milk (optional, if mixture is too dry)
Coating and Decoration
- 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies: In a food processor, pulse the sugar cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. If a processor is unavailable, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs in the processor. Pulse again until the mixture forms a smooth dough. If the dough feels too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon of milk to help bind it.
- Form the Truffles: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, shape the dough into 1-inch diameter balls. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Dip in Chocolate: While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate wafers using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring often. Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet and quickly add sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Serve or Store: Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge. Store finished truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy these sweet festive treats!
Notes
- If the cream cheese is too cold, soften it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to ensure easy mixing.
- Use high-quality white chocolate melting wafers for a smooth coating that hardens nicely.
- Customize sprinkles to match your holiday theme or preferences.
- These truffles can also be made with other cookie flavors, like gingerbread or chocolate chip, for variety.
- Store truffles in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture.
