Christmas Cookie Truffles
- Cook Time: 80 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 hard sugar cookies (about 1 package)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers
- 2 tablespoons red and green sprinkles
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Place your sugar cookies into a food processor. Pulse them until they become fine crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a large plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until no large chunks remain.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to blend them until a thick, uniform dough forms. Add the vanilla extract at this stage if you want an extra flavor boost.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the dough is rolled, place the sheet in the freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals. Stir between each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize and become lumpy.
- Using a fork or a dipping tool, submerge each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate. Lift it out, let the excess chocolate drip off, and place it back on the parchment paper. Immediately top with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 5 minutes until the chocolate shell is hard. Serve and enjoy!
