Ingredients

You only need sugar cookies, cream cheese, and melting chocolate for this recipe. (Plus sprinkles if you want to add them.)

I recommend using hard sugar cookies, you don’t want moist cookies so they are easier to crumble. I found mine in the bakery section of my grocery store and let them sit a day or two after buying to make sure they were crisp.

Step by step

Use a food processor or blender (I use my Ninja blender) to thoroughly crumb the cookies. You don’t want any big chunks.
Add the cream cheese and blend until the mixture is uniform, scraping down the sides as needed.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1.5 inch balls and place on the baking sheet.
Freeze the truffles for 30 minutes before coating.

Melt the chocolate melting wafers according to the package instructions.
Remove truffles from the freezer and use two forks to dip in the chocolate. Hold the truffle over the bowl and tap gently to allow any excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment paper. If adding sprinkles, add them immediately before chocolate coating hardens.

Place truffles in refrigerator until hardened.

Tips for best results

Use hard sugar cookies so they crumble finely.
Using lower fat Neufchatel cheese in place of full-fat cream cheese is perfectly fine for this recipe.
I recommend using melting wafers over chocolate chips for this recipe, they coat the truffle better and give a better end result.
Change up the truffles by using different sprinkles, this is especially good for gifting on different holidays through the year.

FAQs

How long do these truffles last?

Store them in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Can they be frozen?

Yes! These freeze wonderfully. Freeze after coating with chocolate and allowing to completely harden. Layer truffles with parchment paper to prevent sticking and store in a freezer-safe container up to 4 weeks.
Do not freeze before coating with chocolate, as they will dry out and give a crumbly textured result.
