Make irresistible, creamy sugar cookie truffles without turning on your oven. These no-bake dessert bites use simple ingredients, taste like soft sugar cookies, and are perfect for holiday platters or easy gifting.
12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
Festive sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
Place the sugar cookies into a large bowl or a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse until you have fine crumbs. If mixing by hand, crush the cookies thoroughly in the bowl.
Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a sturdy spoon or use the food processor until the mixture comes together into a uniform, thick dough.
Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 24 to 30 truffles. Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is important for firming them up before dipping.
Prepare the white chocolate coating. Place the white chocolate wafers (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
Working quickly, take one chilled truffle ball at a time and drop it into the melted white chocolate. Use a fork or a dipping tool to fully coat the truffle. Lift the truffle out, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately top with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Repeat the dipping process for all truffles. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or place the tray back in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up setting.
Store your finished sugar cookie truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a Lofthouse cookie inspired flavor, use store-bought frosted sugar cookies and scrape off the frosting before crushing them.
If you do not have cream cheese, some recipes substitute with vanilla frosting for a similar binding effect.
You can make these make-ahead holiday treats up to one week in advance.
Use high-quality white chocolate melting wafers for the best, smoothest coating finish.
