📖 Substitutions
If you find that substitutions are needed or wanted, here are some suggestions that may help:
- Cookie – If you prefer to use a different type of cookie, you can. Any soft cookie in the bakery at the grocery store will work or you can make your own soft sugar cookies too.
- Cream Cheese – If you don’t want to use cream cheese, you can use frosting instead. You’ll use the same amount as you would the cream cheese.
👩🏻🍳 How to Make Sugar Cookie Truffles
*Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients list & instructions!*
STEP 1. Crumble cookies. Place your cookies into the bowl of your mixer and mix on medium speed until fine crumbs.
STEP 2. Cream cheese. Add in the cream cheese and mix until the mixture is smooth.
STEP 3. Roll the balls. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the dough. Smush the dough in your hands and roll it into a ball.
STEP 4. Chill. Place the dough balls onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place them in the fridge for 3 minutes.
Tips:
– Make sure you mix the dough well so it makes a paste.
– When rolling in to balls, work the dough in your hands to get out any lumps so they’re smooth balls.
– While rolling the balls, move your hands in different directions to create the circle shape.
STEP 5. Melt Chocolate. Melt your chocolate with half the coconut oil over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments. Add the rest of the coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick.
STEP 6. Dip. Without sticking the fork in to one of the balls, pick it up and gently dip in the melted chocolate, covering it completely.
STEP 7. Remove. Carefully lift the ball out of the chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off back in to the bowl.
STEP 8. Rest. Place the chocolate-covered truffles on the sheet pan. Allow the chocolate to set for at least 10 minutes, and enjoy.
💭 Recipe Pro Tips
- For the melted chocolate, make sure the chocolate has the same consistency as paint. If your chocolate is too thick, it won’t look as well.
- Place your sprinkles onto your truffles before the chocolate sets, so they stick.
📋 Recipe FAQs
