Sugar Cookie Truffles
Sugar Cookie Truffles are delightful, no-bake treats that combine the classic flavor of sugar cookies with a creamy center, all coated in a smooth chocolate shell. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet gift. Here’s how to make them
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 large sugar cookies (about 2 cups of fine crumbs)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers or candy melts
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Crumbs:
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Combine with Cream Cheese:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Form the Truffles:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill:
- Freeze the truffle balls for about 15-20 minutes to firm them up, making them easier to dip.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Avoid overheating to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Dip the Truffles:
- Remove the truffle balls from the freezer.
- Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate and place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, immediately add sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
- Set and Serve:
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
- You can speed up this process by placing the truffles in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once set, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use firm, store-bought sugar cookies like Pepperidge Farm Sugar Cookies.
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Work quickly when dipping the truffles and adding sprinkles, as the chocolate can set rapidly.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to a month.
