Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make Sugar Cookie Truffles that will have everyone asking for more:

For the Truffles:

• Sugar Cookie Mix
  The shortcut to making these truffles taste like homemade sugar cookies without the hassle of baking them. A simple sugar cookie mix is all you need for the base.
• Butter
  Butter gives the truffles that classic, rich flavor that makes sugar cookies so irresistible.
• Cream Cheese
  Cream cheese adds a smooth, tangy richness to the center of the truffles. It helps hold everything together while giving each bite that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Vanilla Extract
  A touch of vanilla brings out the flavor of the sugar cookies and makes the truffles even more fragrant and delicious.
• Powdered Sugar
  For the perfect sweetness and smooth texture, powdered sugar adds that lovely sugar cookie flavor to the truffles.

For the Coating:

• White Chocolate Chips
  The perfect coating for these truffles, white chocolate adds a creamy, sweet exterior that pairs wonderfully with the sugar cookie filling.
• Sprinkles
  Optional but fun! Use colorful sprinkles to give these truffles a festive look, perfect for holidays or any special occasion.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Truffle Center

In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Use your hands or a spoon to combine until it forms a dough-like consistency. This might take a bit of mixing to get everything fully incorporated. Once it’s all mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help it firm up.

2. Roll into Balls

Once the dough has chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place each truffle ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. You should end up with about 20-25 truffles, depending on how large you roll them. Once they’re all shaped, return the truffles to the fridge for another 30 minutes to firm up.

3. Coat with White Chocolate

While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips. You can do this by microwaving them in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat!

Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or spoon to coat it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, top each truffle with colorful sprinkles for an extra pop of fun.

4. Chill and Set

After all the truffles are coated, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is fully set.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Once the truffles are chilled and the chocolate is set, they’re ready to serve! Enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
