Base Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles or decorative sugars (optional)
- Crush the Sugar Cookies: Place sugar cookies in a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Aim for evenly ground pieces with no large chunks.
- Mix with Cream Cheese and Vanilla: In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese and vanilla extract. Stir gently but thoroughly until it forms a smooth, dough-like mixture that holds together well when pressed.
- Shape into Balls: Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls using your hands or a small scoop. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring often to prevent burning and ensure a smooth coating.
- Dip and Decorate: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled truffle ball in melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on parchment paper and quickly add sprinkles or decorative sugar before the chocolate hardens.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the coated truffles for 15-20 minutes until set. Serve chilled or at room temperature, enjoy, gift, or plate beautifully for any occasion.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother blend without lumps.
- Stir just enough to combine to avoid dense or tough truffles.
- Chill shaped balls before dipping to maintain their shape.
- Temper white chocolate gently for a shiny, smooth coating that won’t crack.
- Store truffles refrigerated until serving to keep fresh.
