Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package soft frosted sugar cookies (like Lofthouse style)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Place the soft sugar cookies in a large bowl or food processor. Crush the cookies until they form fine crumbs.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix by hand or pulse in the food processor until the mixture comes together and forms a dough-like consistency.
- 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 to firm them up.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. If using, stir in the shortening or coconut oil for a thinner consistency.
- Dip each chilled truffle 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.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Immediately top with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.
Notes
- If you do not have soft frosted cookies, you can use plain sugar cookies and add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar to the mix for sweetness.
- For easier dipping, use a small cookie scoop to portion the dough before chilling.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
