Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 ounce bag of Pepperidge Farm Sugar Cookies about 15 sugar cookies
- 2-3 ounces of cream cheese softened
- 1 1/2 cups candy melts
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Sprinkles - optional
Instructions
- Place your sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse the mixture to create a fine crumb like sand.
- Next add in the 2 ounces of cream cheese and mix. If you find it is too dry add the remaining cream cheese to the mixture. Add in the extract as well.
- Once well mixed, you will then use a cookie scoop to roll the sugar cookie dough into balls.
- Place on a lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles are made toss in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden the balls.
- Melt your candy melts in the microwave as directed on the package. Or use a double boiler.
- Then you will dip the balls into the chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Then place the cookie balls on the parchment paper and add sprinkles as you go.
- Once done serve up these delicious no bake sugar cookie truffles.
Notes
Sugar Cookies - Any hard sugar cookie works. You will find soft sugar cookies can be too soft and not shape well when you try to roll it.
Candy Melts - Work fast when working with candy melts. You will need to add sprinkles to each truffle as you go, or it will harden and won't stick to the chocolate.
Vanilla - The vanilla is optional, but it helps add more sweetness and not as tangy with the cream cheese.
Storing - Refrigerate the truffle balls once done. They will last around a week in the fridge when stored properly.
