Sugar cookie truffles - Natural Garden Tips

Sugar cookie truffles are a delightful and festive treat, perfect for Christmas or any special occasion. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Prepare the Cookies: Start by crushing the sugar cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the cookies in a food processor and pulsing until you achieve a fine texture. Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin.

Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Form Truffles: Roll the cookie mixture into small balls, about 1 inch (2.5cm) in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up the truffles.
Melt Chocolate: While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts according to the package instructions. You can do this in the microwave or using a double boiler.

Dip Truffles: Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, you can sprinkle the truffles with festive sprinkles or decorations, if desired.
Chill: Once all the truffles are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.

Serve: Once the chocolate coating is set, your sugar cookie truffles are ready to serve! Arrange them on a festive platter or package them in gift bags or boxes for a sweet holiday treat.

These sugar cookie truffles are sure to be a hit at any Christmas gathering or holiday celebration. Enjoy!
