Combining the classic sweetness of sugar cookies with the velvety texture of cream cheese and a hint of vanilla, these truffles are a harmony of flavours.

This easy, four-ingredient recipe is a creative way to bring a touch of magic to your dessert table, offering a gourmet experience with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 12-15 sugar cookies (I use the 5-ounce bag of Pepperidge Farms)
- 2-3 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chocolate melting wafers
- Optional: sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Place the cookies in a blender or food processor and blend until they have turned into fine crumbs.
- Add in the cream cheese and vanilla and pulse until it has combined. It the mixture is to firm, you can add in an extra ounce.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or freezer paper. Using a small cookie scoop or
- Tablespoon, scoop out the dough, and roll it into balls. Then place it onto the baking sheet. Freeze for about 20 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave bowl for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and melt for an additional 15-30 seconds if needed.
- Dip the truffle balls into the chocolate using a fork. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl and then place back onto the lined baking sheet. Use a toothpick to help slide the ball off onto the pan.
- Add sprinkles immediately after dipping each ball. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips and Tricks
- Dip the truffles quickly into the melted chocolate to avoid lumps, and use a fork to tap off any excess chocolate.
- After placing them on the baking sheet, use a toothpick to gently swirl around the truffle.
- For a smoother and more professional look, use high-quality melting wafers instead of typical white chocolate chips, which may not melt as evenly or smoothly.
- Feel free to experiment with other types of hard cookies, like vanilla wafers, golden Oreos, or gingersnaps, to create your truffles.
