Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16 ounce) package store-bought soft sugar cookies (or Lofthouse style cookies)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers (or white candy coating)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
- Assorted sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Place the sugar cookies in a large bowl or food processor. Crush the cookies until they form fine crumbs. If using a bowl, use a rolling pin or potato masher.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a spoon or your hands until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick, uniform dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 24 to 30 truffles. Place the 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 before dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl according to package directions. If using shortening, stir it into the melted chocolate now for a thinner consistency. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Working with one truffle at a time, drop it into the melted chocolate. Use a fork or a dipping tool to roll the truffle completely in the chocolate. Lift the truffle out, tapping the fork gently against the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately top with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes
- If you do not have store-bought sugar cookies, you can bake a batch of your favorite sugar cookie recipe and let them cool completely before crushing them.
- For a different flavor, substitute milk or dark chocolate melting wafers for the white chocolate coating.
- Store leftover sugar cookie truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
