Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed sugar cookies about 10–12 sugar cookies
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 bag (10 oz) vanilla flavored melting wafers
- red & green sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the cookies: Toss those sugar cookies into your food processor and pulse until they’re fine crumbs. If you’re crushing by hand, get them as fine as you can for a smoother truffle texture.
- Mix the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese. Start with a spoon, but I like to dive in with clean hands to really get everything blended. The dough should feel soft but not sticky.
- Roll the truffles: Scoop about a tablespoon of dough (or smaller if you want mini truffles) and roll it into a ball. Place each one on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect—charmingly imperfect is the goal!
- Chill out: Pop the tray into the freezer for about 10 minutes. This firms up the truffles and makes dipping easier.
- Melt the wafers: Microwave the vanilla melting wafers in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring in between, until smooth. Be patient—overheating will ruin the texture.
- Dip and coat: Using your handy fork-with-missing-prongs, dip each truffle into the melted wafers, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the tray. A toothpick can help gently slide the truffles off the fork.
- Add some flair: Before the coating sets, drizzle extra melted wafers over the truffles and sprinkle on the decorations. Work quickly—the coating hardens fast!
- Final chill: Give the truffles a quick 5-minute chill in the freezer to set everything up perfectly.
Notes
How to serve and present these festive bites
These truffles are a joy to present. Arrange them on a platter lined with parchment paper, or place them in mini cupcake liners for a polished look. Add a sprinkle of edible glitter if you’re feeling extra festive. For a party, stack them on a tiered tray alongside other small treats like fudge or mini brownies.
