Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Truffles

  • 15 baked sugar cookies
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt

White Chocolate Coating

  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips

Garnish

  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Process sugar cookies in a food processor until sandy, or crush them in a resealable bag until you have about 2 1/2 cups of crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, combine cookie crumbs, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt until fully mixed.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to form the mixture into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Freeze the truffles for 10 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, combine coconut oil and white chocolate chips and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip chilled truffles into the melted white chocolate, return them to the baking sheet, and top with Christmas sprinkles.
  • Freeze again for 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating is fully set.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Use chocolate sandwich cookies or shortbread for a flavor twist.
  • Swap white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate.
  • Add almond or peppermint extract for seasonal variation.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze finished truffles for up to 1 month in an airtight container.
  • Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Serving Variations

  • Drizzle with dark chocolate for contrast.
  • Roll dipped truffles in crushed cookies instead of sprinkles.
  • Serve on holiday dessert boards with other Christmas candies.

Avoid Mistakes

  • Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing.
  • Don’t overheat white chocolate—it can seize easily.
  • Chill truffles before dipping to keep their shape.
