Cookie Truffles Ingredients:

There are only four! And since we are using a very few, it is essential that they are all quality ingredients.

Dipped in white chocolate, topped with Christmas Sprinkles my Sugar Cookie Truffles is an easy no bake recipe.

  1. Sugar Cookies: Both homemade and store bought cookies (crunchy variety not soft) can be used for this recipe. If using homemade make sure they aren't fresh or very soft. As they won't crumble easily.
  2. Cream Cheese: I love to make my cookie truffles with full fat cream cheese for best taste. However if you want to make Sugar cookie truffles without cream cheese, try Nutella or peanut butter instead! Both taste yum in cookie truffles!
  3. White Chocolate: Any white chocolate works except chocolate chips. Because choc-chips are not made to be melted.
  4. Sprinkles: I used holly and berries to make Christmas Sugar Cookie Truffles, you may use sprinkles of your choice or top with cookie crumbs even leave them plain!

How to make Sugar Cookie Truffles

Making sugar cookie truffle recipe is a child's play if you remember a few things. Like using sugar cookies that are on the crispier side. Not using chocolate chips for coating! Look for more tips in the post below.

  1. Begin by grinding sugar cookies in a blender or food processor.
  2. Add in cream cheese and give it a whirl again until a dough forms.
  3. Roll and freeze the cookie balls.
  4. Dip in melted chocolate.
  5. Top with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

You need these quick to prepare, 3 ingredients and no bake Sugar Cookie Truffles on your Christmas Tray.

Sugar Cookie Truffles Success Tips:

How to melt White Chocolate:

  • Melting white chocolate can be the hardest part of making truffles if not done right. Melt chocolate using 30 second increments in the microwave. Stir in between.
  • Add a little oil to ease the process and thin out the chocolate.
  • You may also use double boiler method to melt chocolate. But water should not touch chocolate in any case. Else the chocolate will harden and seize.
  • If you notice chocolate has begun to solidify while you are dipping truffles, reheat it 30 second increments again.
  • Never dip truffles in very hot melted chocolate. Let it cool down a bit before coating.

These Sugar Cookie Truffles, made with 3 ingredients will literally melt in your mouth.

Freeze the chocolate truffles before coating

This little trick helps the cookie balls to solidify and hold their shape when we dip them in melted chocolate.

Can I use store bought sugar cookies?

Yes, of course! But remember to select crunchy sugar cookies than soft ones. As crispy cookies will be a breeze to grind in the food processor.

How to coat Chocolate Truffles:

  • For a smooth white chocolate coating avoid using chocolate chips. Good quality chocolate bar works the best. Chocolate wafers, almond bark or candy melts work too.
  • Add a tsp of oil if using candy melts, that way you will get a thin coat of chocolate on each truffle.
  • Dip the truffles quickly in the melted chocolate and shake off the excess by tapping the fork on bowl's edge.

Sugar Cookie Truffles are such an easy no bake Holiday Dessert recipe.

How long will home made truffles keep?

Homemade truffles last for 4-5 days in the refrigerator covered in an airtight container. Freeze them for longer storage.

Should you refrigerate truffles?

These Chocolate Truffles are made with cream cheese that contains Dairy. So I strongly suggest you store them in the refrigerator if you aren't serving them the same day.

Plus they taste super yum, when served chilled!

Can you freeze truffles?

You can freeze truffles up to 2 months in the freezer. Just remember to coat them in chocolate before freezing. As un-coated cookie balls may dry out in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

    Ah, what cute truffles! I love the holly decorations on top and the colorful sprinkles throughout. And I just happen to have some white candy melts in my pantry. I think it's fate. 🙂
