Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package store-bought soft sugar cookies (or about 4 cups crumbled homemade cookies)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
- Festive sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Place the sugar cookies in a large bowl or a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse until you have fine crumbs. If mixing by hand, crush the cookies thoroughly until they resemble coarse sand.
- Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a sturdy spoon or use the food processor until the mixture is completely combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the dough into small, uniform 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. This step helps them firm up for easier dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. If using coconut oil, stir it into the melted chocolate until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with festive sprinkles, if desired.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or place the tray back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Notes
- If you use homemade baked sugar cookies, make sure they are completely cooled before crumbling them.
- For a smoother coating, use a small amount of coconut oil mixed into the melting wafers.
- Store these homemade truffle candy treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
