12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white candy coating
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning coating)
Assorted sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Place the sugar cookies in a large bowl or food processor. Crush the cookies until they form fine crumbs. If using a food processor, pulse until fine. If using a bowl, crush them thoroughly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until the mixture is completely combined and forms a thick, uniform dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step firms them up, making them easier to dip.
Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. If the coating is too thick, stir in the coconut oil one teaspoon at a time until you reach a smooth, dippable consistency.
Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You can use a fork or a dipping tool.
Immediately place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, top with your desired sprinkles.
Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly in the refrigerator until the coating hardens.
Notes
For the creamiest filling, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
If you do not have store-bought cookies, you can use cooled, baked sugar cookies, but the texture will be slightly less soft.
To make these ahead, store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
