Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package store-bought sugar cookies
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white candy coating
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract, if using. Mix well until the mixture is completely combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled 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. This step is important for easy dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions, usually in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You can use a fork or a dipping tool.
- Immediately place the dipped truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, top with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Return the finished truffles to the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is completely set.
Notes
- For a quicker set time on the chocolate coating, you can chill the dipped truffles for 10-15 minutes after coating.
- If you prefer a slightly less sweet center, use slightly less cookie than cream cheese, but maintain the dough consistency.
- These make-ahead treats store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
