Ingredients

▢ 12 large sugar cookies Store-bought or homemade preferably soft
▢ 4 oz cream cheese softened (Helps bind the cookie mixture and adds creaminess)
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor depth
▢ 4 tablespoons salted butter softened For richness
▢ 1 cup powdered sugar Sweetens the mixture
▢ 12 oz white chocolate chips For coating the truffles
▢ 1-2 tablespoons shortening To thin the chocolate coating
▢ Holiday nonpareils sprinkles For decorating the truffles

Instructions

Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crumbled.
In a separate bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, then beat until light and fluffy.
Add half a cup of the cream cheese mixture to the crushed cookies in the food processor and pulse until combined.
Check the texture of the cookie mixture. Add more of the cream cheese mixture until the crumbs hold together when squeezed into a ball, but aren't too sticky.
Form the mixture into small balls and place them on parchment paper.
Place the balls in the freezer and chill for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the white chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Do not overheat.
Remove the chilled cookie balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Roll to coat and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl.
Place the coated truffles onto a sheet of parchment paper to set. If desired, sprinkle with holiday nonpareils immediately after placing on parchment.
Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the truffles from the parchment paper. They are now ready to serve.

Notes

These truffles are perfect for any celebration, especially around the holidays. The rich, smooth chocolate coating and the sweet cookie center make them an irresistible treat.
