Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package store-bought sugar cookies (about 24 cookies)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white candy coating
- 2 tablespoons festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you do not have a food processor, place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs remain.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the crumbs. Mix with a rubber spatula or clean hands until the mixture is fully combined and holds together when pressed.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 20 to 24 truffles. Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is important before dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions, usually in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a dipping tool to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Immediately place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If using sprinkles, add them to the top of the wet chocolate coating right away.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for another 15 minutes.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a different flavor, substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate for the white chocolate coating.
- These truffles freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- If you are planning a large event, consider using a meal planning approach to track your ingredient needs.
