Related recipes If you have time to bake cookies, I highly suggest using my cut-out sugar cookie recipe. Soft cookies will not work for the consistency of truffles. I also like making my Oreo truffles ahead of time and freezing them.Ĭan I use store bought sugar cookies? Yes! If you use store bought sugar cookies, buy the hard, crunchy kind like these Pepperidge Farm sugar cookies. Defrost in the refrigerator when you are ready to serve. In an airtight container, layer and stack the sugar cookie truffles between sheets of parchment paper so they don’t stick together. If you freeze them before dipping them in chocolate, the truffles will dry out and become crumbly. Frequently Asked QuestionsĬan I freeze cookie truffles? Yes! I suggest freezing them after you coated them in white chocolate. If you dont have dipping tools, place the sugar cookie truffle on a fork to dip and then use a toothpick or knife to remove excess chocolate off the bottom. If so, return the chocolate to the microwave for an additional 20 seconds and continue working.ĭipping tools come in hand for dipping candies/truffles in chocolate. While you are dipping the truffles, the chocolate may begin to thicken and harden. Never add water to melted chocolate (see more tips for melting chocolate). You can do this process with normal white chocolate chips, however I suggest adding a tablespoon of shortening or coconut oil to help thin out the consistency of the chocolate. Stir the chocolate and microwave again for 20 seconds at 50% power level. Place wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave at 50% power level for 30 seconds. I usually buy melting wafers at the grocery store (they’re found in the baking aisle). Dip truffles in the melted chocolate, place on parchment paper and add sprinkles if desired. Dip in white chocolate: Melt white chocolate (or candy melts). Freeze the cookie truffles for 15 minutes. Roll and put on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Form truffles: Use a cookie scoop to scoop the “dough” into 1-inch balls. If the dough is still dry, try adding a teaspoon or two of milk. Mix in cream cheese: Add cream cheese and pulse again until the “dough” comes together. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies. I have this food processor and it works like a charm every time. Crush sugar cookies: Use a food processor to grind the sugar cookies until fine crumbs form. It’s really easy to make cookie truffles. Candy melts work well too and, depending on the holiday, you can use any color sprinkles. These are the white chocolate melting wafers I use and they are usually found in the baking aisle at your local grocery store. The recipe also requires a short freezing time so it is easier to dip the truffles in white chocolate. This helps the cookies adhere to the cream cheese and form solid truffles.
