Ingredients
Scale
1 (16 ounce) package store-bought sugar cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
1/4 cup festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Place the sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a sturdy zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a spatula or your hands until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up. This step helps prevent them from falling apart when dipping.
Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, or using a double boiler.
Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a dipping tool to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Immediately place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet. If you want to add sprinkles, sprinkle them over the wet chocolate right away.
Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for about 15 minutes.
Notes
For a smoother coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to the white chocolate while melting.
If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute the sugar cookies with vanilla wafers for a different type of creamy cookie truffle.
