Ingredients
Scale
Cookies and Dough
- 12 sugar cookies (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter)
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon milk (optional, if dough is too dry)
Coating and Decoration
- 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies: Using a food processor, pulse the sugar cookies until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and pulse again in the food processor until a dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, incorporate a teaspoon of milk to help combine the dough.
- Form the Truffles: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Dip in Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, then place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Quickly add sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
- Serve or Store: Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Store the finished truffles in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy your festive treats!
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with the cookie crumbs.
- If the dough is crumbly, add a small amount of milk to help it come together.
- Melt the white chocolate carefully to avoid burning; use short intervals in the microwave and stir frequently.
- Use parchment paper to prevent the truffles from sticking while setting.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for one week or frozen for up to a month.
