Sugar Cookie Truffles Recipes

SUGAR COOKIE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Make drop cookies as directed on pouch. Cool completely, at least 15 minutes.
• In food processor, process half of the cookies to fine crumbs. Remove and set aside; continue to process remaining cookies to fine crumbs. Mix all of cookie crumb mixture in food processor. Add cream cheese and frosting. Process until well combined and mixture can be pressed into a ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Shape cookie mixture into 45 (1 1/4-inch) balls; place on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• In medium bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds or until it can be stirred smooth.
• Remove half of the cookie balls from refrigerator. Using 2 forks, dip and roll chilled cookie balls, one at a time, in coating. Return to lined cookie sheet; immediately decorate top with sprinkles. If coating has cooled too much, reheat. Repeat with second half of cookie balls. Store covered in refrigerator.

SUGAR COOKIE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
• Add cookies to food processor and pulse until cookies are finely crumbled. If you don't have a food processor, add the cookies to a large resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies.
• Add cream cheese and pulse until well combined into a dough.
• Use cookie scoop to portion the dough into roughly 1 inch balls, then use your hands to roll until ball is smooth and round. Add to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Add baking sheet with dough balls to the freezer for about 10 minutes.
• While dough is chilling, melt chocolate, in whichever method you prefer.
• Get dough balls from freezer and dip, one at a time, on a fork in the melted chocolate. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the chocolate bowl to remove excess chocolate, then place back on wax paper lined baking sheet. If using sprinkles, add them now, so they'll stick to the chocolate. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
• Let truffles sit for about 5 minutes, so the chocolate sets, then serve or store.
• Truffles should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator, but they can technically be stored at room temperature, but only for 1 week.

• MICROWAVE 1 package baking chips and 2 tablespoons shortening in medium microwave-safe bowl on HIGH 1 minute or until melted and smooth when stirred. Hold 1 truffle on fork over bowl. Spoon white chocolate mixture over truffle to coat, tapping fork gently until excess coating drips back into bowl. Push truffle off fork onto wax paper using a toothpick. Immediately garnish top of truffle with decorator sprinkles. Repeat to coat remaining truffles. If coating thickens, microwave 10 to 15 seconds. Prepare additional coating using remaining white chips and shortening when needed. Chill truffles until ready to serve.
