Cookie Truffles
In 30 minutes, pre-made sugar cookies are mixed together with cream cheese, then covered in a silky white chocolate coating.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 sugar cookies
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened and at room temperature )
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened and at room temperature)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla candy coating, melts or almond bark (other flavors can be used)
- 1/4 cup small sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor, and pulse them into fine crumbs.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter until well combined using an electric mixer.
- Add the sugar cookie crumbs to the cheese mixture. Gently fold to incorporate until a dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or clean hands, scoop approximately two tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 15 - 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the vanilla candy melts in a microwave oven at 30 seconds intervals until melted. Stir well between each interval as this helps to melt the chocolate.
- Dip the sugar cookie dough in the melted chocolate using a fork, and carefully place it back on the baking sheet placing an inch apart each other.
- Immediately sprinkle a few birthday sprinkles over sugar cookie balls. Repeat the process for the remaining sugar cookie dough.
Notes
Store the sugar cookie truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week time or freeze them for about 2 - 3 months.
