Make these easy, no-bake sugar cookie truffles using store-bought cookies for a quick dessert. They combine soft cookie crumbs and cream cheese, coated in smooth white chocolate.
12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white candy coating
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
Festive sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
Place the frosted sugar cookies into a large bowl or a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse until fine crumbs form. If mixing by hand, crush the cookies thoroughly using a rolling pin or your hands until they resemble fine sand.
Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a spatula or use the food processor on low speed until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick, uniform dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This step helps them firm up for easier dipping.
Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions. If using, stir in the coconut oil after melting to thin the chocolate slightly for easier coating.
Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a dipping tool to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Immediately sprinkle the top with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly in the refrigerator until the coating is firm.
Notes
Using pre-frosted sugar cookies adds extra sweetness and moisture, which is key for this no-bake dessert.
If you do not have coconut oil, you can skip it, but the chocolate coating may be slightly thicker.
These make excellent food gift ideas when packaged in small boxes or cellophane bags.
