Christmas Sugar Cookie Truffles


  • Author: Carissa Shaw for Mom Needs Chocolate

Description

Christmas Sugar Cookie Truffles taste just like a delicious little ball of sugar cookie dough! Dip these cute cookie balls in white chocolate and decorate with sprinkles for an extra festive touch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fine sugar cookie crumbs (see notes below for tips)
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 16 ounces (1 pound) vanilla candy coating (in microwave safe tray if possible)
  • Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar cookie crumbs with cream cheese and mix well until a soft dough forms.
  2. Roll the dough into 1-inch (or slightly smaller) balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  3. Refrigerate the cookie balls for 1 hour.
  4. Melt the vanilla candy coating according to package directions. Dip each cookie ball into the candy coating then return to the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Decorate with sprinkled immediately before the candy coating sets on the chilled cookie dough ball.
  5. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Notes

To make cookie crumbs: pulse un-frosted cut out sugar cookies in a blender or food processor until they break down into a fine crumb. I used 12 large cut out sugar cookies to make 3 cups of crumbs, however, the number of cookies needed will depend on the size and thickness of the cookies.

Next time you make homemade cut out cookies, make an additional batch to freeze and keep on hand to make Christmas Sugar Cookie Truffles.

For an extra decorative touch, dip all of the cookie balls in the vanilla candy and place on the parchment paper until set. After the candy coating has set on each cookie ball, use a fork to drizzle extra candy coating over the top of each cookie ball to create a pretty drizzled look, then add the sprinkles.

I recommend using a vanilla candy coating that comes in its own microwavable tray for easy melting and clean up.
