Sugar Cookie Truffles

These Sugar Cookie Truffles are a no-bake treat made with crushed sugar cookies and a creamy vanilla coating. Perfect for holidays, gifting, or satisfying a sweet craving, they’re as easy to make as they are delightful to eat.

Ingredients

Truffle Base:

2 cups crushed sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ tsp vanilla extract

Coating:

12 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)

Optional Toppings:

Sprinkles, colored sugar, or crushed cookies

Instructions

Crush the Cookies:
- Place sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Make the Truffle Dough:
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed cookies, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Shape the Truffles:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Dip the Truffles:
- Using a fork or candy dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Decorate:
- While the coating is still wet, top the truffles with sprinkles, colored sugar, or crushed cookies.
Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until the coating is firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or almond extract to the truffle base for extra flavor.

Gifting Idea: Package in festive boxes or bags for a perfect holiday gift.
