🔪 How to Make These Sugar Cookie Truffles
Making these cookies is so simple just follow these step-by-step directions and you will have a sweet no-bake treat that will be perfect for your holiday party this year.
Step 1: Prepare your workspace
Line your work surface with parchment and place it on a plate or cutting board that will fit in the fridge/freezer.
Step 2: Remove the sprinkles from the cookies and crush the cookies
Scrape off any large sprinkles from the pre-made sugar cookies. Some frosting remaining on the cookie is okay. Place the cookies in a food processor and grind until crumbly.
Step 3: Make the truffle filling
Place the cookie crumbs in a medium bowl and combine with the softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon’s worth of the dough and roll it into a round ball. Place on the parchment and repeat until all the dough is used up.
Step 4: Chill the dough
Chill the rolled dough in the fridge/freezer for about 20 minutes.
Step 5: Melt the chocolate
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, heating in 30 second increments and stirring well between each interval.
Step 6: Coat the truffles in chocolate
Using a spoon, dip each chilled dough ball in the melted white chocolate and coat. Scoop out the ball and tap off the excess on the side of the bowl. Transfer the truffle ball to the parchment again and use the tip of the spoon to cover up any areas that appear thin or where the spoon left an indent. Top with sprinkles.
