Ingredients
Scale
1 (16 ounce) package store-bought soft sugar cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces white melting wafers or white chocolate
Instructions
Place the sugar cookies in a large bowl or food processor. Crush the cookies until they form fine crumbs. If using a bowl, use a rolling pin or potato masher to crush them thoroughly.
Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a spoon or use the food processor until the mixture comes together into a thick, uniform 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 melting wafers or white chocolate according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval.
Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted coating using a fork or a dipping tool. Allow excess coating to drip off.
Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate immediately with sprinkles or a drizzle of contrasting chocolate before the coating sets.
Refrigerate the finished sugar cookie truffles until the coating is completely firm, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Notes
If you prefer a slightly tangier center, use a block of cream cheese instead of the whipped variety.
For a festive look, use holiday-themed sprinkles before the coating hardens.
Store these bite-sized desserts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
