Sugar Cookie Truffles
Sugar cookie truffles are a tasty cake pop like treat perfect for Christmas, Birthday Parties, Baby showers and more. You'll love these sprinkled topped, no bake delights.
Ingredients
- 8 oz sugar cookies crunchy, see note 1 below
- 3 oz cream cheese softened
- 6 oz vanilla melting wafers
- festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Place crunchy sugar cookies in a food processor and process until you have a fine crumb. Place in a bowl and combine with cream cheese. It's easiest to use a handheld mixer, but be careful to stop mixing as soon as it's combined or it'll become too sticky and mushy. You may also use a spatula to combine.
- Form dough into balls. I used a small cookie scoop to get even sized balls. I recommend 1 - 1 ½ Tablespoon sized balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes or more.
- Melt melting wafers according to package directions. See note 3 below for tips. Use a plastic fork with the 2 middle tines broken off and stick it in the cookie ball. Dip into the melted wafers, using a spoon to cover it completely if necessary. Allow excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment lined baking sheet and immediately add sprinkles. See pictures above for a great guide. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
Notes
- I got my crunchy sugar cookies from Wal-Mart. They ad sprinkles on them I scraped off. You can also use the Pepperidge Farm ones, or homemade. Just make sure they're crunchy!
- This recipe makes 12 - 1.5 Tablespoon sized truffles. I actually recommend making them 1 Tablespoon size, which makes 18. They look cuter and are easier to eat.
- If you are having trouble with the melting wafers, try adding 1 Tablespoon shortening to it, this should make it more easy to work with.
- If you don't immediately add your sprinkles, the melting wafers will harden too quickly and you'll miss your chance. It will harden quickly as the cookie balls will have come from the freezer.
- If your cookie balls become too soft, simply place back in the freezer for another 5 minutes.
- If your melting wafers start to get too hard, microwave for another 5-10 seconds to make it nice and smooth and liquid-y again.
