Ingredients
  

For the Truffles:
  • 12 cookies sugar cookies crumbled into fine crumbs
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla candy coating melts or almond bark
  • 1/4 cup small sprinkles for decoration

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Meltable chocolate or candy coating bowl
  • Fork or dipping tool
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by crumbling the sugar cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the cookies in a food processor or putting them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. The finer the crumbs, the smoother your truffles will be.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cookies with softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until everything is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
  3. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Once all the mixture is shaped, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
  4. While the truffles are chilling, melt the vanilla candy coating according to the package instructions. Make sure to stir it until smooth to avoid any lumps.
  5. Once the truffles are chilled, dip each one into the melted candy coating using a fork or dipping tool. Allow any excess coating to drip off, then place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Before the coating hardens, sprinkle each truffle with small sprinkles for a festive touch. This step adds color and fun, making your Cookie Truffles even more appealing!
  7. Once all the truffles are coated and decorated, place them back in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes or until the candy coating is firm. After that, they are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature.
