No Bake Sugar Cookie Truffles
Tender sugar cookie dough balls coated in a crisp white chocolate shell, made entirely without an oven and ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
Dough
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 18.25 oz sugar cookie mix
Coating
- 12 oz white chocolate chips for melting
- 0.25 cup sprinkles optional
Instructions
Dough
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the sugar cookie mix until the dough comes together and becomes slightly crumbly.
Form Truffles
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
Coating
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, heating in 30-second intervals, stirring until glossy.
- Dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, allow excess to drip off, then place back on the baking sheet and add sprinkles if desired.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating is set before serving.
Notes
Testing Note 1: Chilling dough balls on a cold baking sheet helps maintain a perfect round shape.
Testing Note 2: Microwaving chocolate at half power in short bursts prevents scorching and ensures a glossy finish.
Testing Note 3: Letting completed truffles rest overnight in the fridge deepens the vanilla flavor and firms the shell.
