Ingredients
Scale
Sugar Cookie Base
- 1 lb 5 oz package sugar cookie mix, plus required ingredients for baking
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup vanilla frosting
Coating
- 14 ounces almond bark or white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Bake Cookies: Preheat oven and bake sugar cookies according to the package directions. Allow them to cool completely before the next step to ensure easy processing and better texture.
- Process Cookies: Place the cooled sugar cookies into a food processor and pulse until they are ground into fine crumbs, creating a consistent crumb base for the truffles.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese and vanilla frosting. Mix thoroughly until it forms a smooth, uniform dough-like mixture ready to shape.
- Shape Truffles: Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Arrange them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up before coating.
- Melt Chocolate: Microwave the almond bark or white chocolate chips for 45 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl to avoid clumps.
- Decorate and Chill: Immediately top each dipped truffle with sprinkles if desired. Place them back onto the parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating sets.
- Store: Keep the truffles refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain their texture and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to blend smoothly with cookie crumbs.
- Freezing the rolled balls before dipping helps prevent them from falling apart in the chocolate coating.
- You can substitute almond bark with good quality white chocolate chips or candy melts for the coating.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed bag and crush finely with a rolling pin.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week for best taste.
