Looking for a delectable dessert that’s easy to make and sure to impress? Look no further than these delightful Sugar Cookie Truffles! Combining the soft, familiar flavors of sugar cookies with a rich cream cheese filling and a sweet white chocolate coating, these truffles are the perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
2 cups baked sugar cookies, crumbled
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces white chocolate, melted
Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Directions:
Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the crumbled sugar cookies, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together and is smooth.
Shape the Truffles:
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.
Prepare the Coating:
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Coat the Truffles:
Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to ensure they’re fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
Decorate and Set:
Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and, if desired, decorate with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Let the truffles set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
Serve and Enjoy!
Once set, your sugar cookie truffles are ready to be served. Enjoy this delightful treat that’s sure to bring smiles!
Serving Tips:
Room Temperature Serving: For the best flavor and texture, serve the truffles slightly chilled or at room temperature.
Presentation: Arrange the truffles on a decorative plate or tiered tray, and add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or drizzle of extra melted chocolate for added flair.
Festive Touch: Customize the truffles with sprinkles that match the occasion – red and green for Christmas, pastel for Easter, or pink and red for Valentine’s Day!
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Place leftover truffles in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. This keeps the cream cheese filling fresh and prevents the chocolate from softening.
Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the truffles. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll last up to 2 months this way. To enjoy, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Avoid Moisture: Store truffles away from moisture to prevent condensation, which can cause the chocolate coating to “sweat.”

FAQs:
Can I use store-bought sugar cookies for this recipe?
Yes, store-bought sugar cookies work just as well and can save time! Simply crumble them and follow the recipe as directed. However, homemade sugar cookies can add a fresh, personalized flavor to the truffles.
How can I prevent the truffles from melting at room temperature?
To help the chocolate coating stay firm, chill the truffles in the refrigerator after coating them in white chocolate. When serving at room temperature, keep them out for no more than 2 hours, especially in warmer environments, to maintain the ideal texture.
Can I use other types of chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Absolutely! Milk, dark, or even colored candy melts can be used to coat the truffles. Each option brings a unique flavor profile, so feel free to experiment with your favorite chocolate.
What if the truffle mixture is too soft to roll into balls?
If the mixture is too soft, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes to firm it up before rolling. You can also add a few more cookie crumbs to create a firmer texture if needed.
Conclusion:
These Sugar Cookie Truffles are a simple yet indulgent dessert that everyone will love. With minimal ingredients and easy preparation, they make for a fantastic treat at any gathering. Whether for a holiday celebration, birthday party, or just because, these truffles are sure to be a hit! Try making them today and savor every sweet bite!
