Key Ingredients and Substitutions
- Sugar Cookies: Homemade sugar cookies work wonderfully in this recipe, adding a personal touch. However, store-bought sugar cookies are a great time-saving alternative!
- White Chocolate: The creamy sweetness of white chocolate perfectly complements the sugar cookies. If you prefer, substitute with milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate to suit your taste.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened, room-temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth and well-mixed filling.
Make Them Ahead of Time
Need to get ahead on your holiday preparations? These truffles can be made in advance and frozen for up to two months. Simply store them in an airtight, freezer-safe container, labeled with the date. When ready to serve, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight for a fuss-free dessert.
Storage Tips
Since these truffles contain cream cheese, it’s important to store them properly. Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks. For best results, bring them out shortly before serving so they’re at the perfect consistency.

Sugar Cookie Truffles
Ingredients
- 10-12 sugar cookies, about 2 cups crushed
- 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles, optional, for topping
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs.
- Add the cream cheese to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is smooth and holds together when pressed.
- Scoop portions of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the cookie balls for 30-45 minutes, or until firm.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until melted and smooth.
- Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Lift each truffle out of the chocolate using a fork, tapping off excess chocolate. Gently slide the coated truffle onto the parchment-lined baking sheet using a toothpick or a second fork. If using sprinkles, add them immediately before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
