Ingredients
Cookie Truffle Base
- 10 Lofthouse sugar cookies
- 4 oz cream cheese
Chocolate Coating
- 8 oz dipping chocolate
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Crumb the cookies and mix: Place your Lofthouse cookies into the bowl of a mixer and mix on medium speed until they become fine crumbs. Add in the cream cheese and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Form truffle balls: Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie-cream cheese dough. Press the dough in your hands and roll it into a smooth ball. Place the balls onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 3 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate coating: Melt the dipping chocolate along with half of the coconut oil either over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring to combine. If the chocolate is too thick for dipping, add the remaining coconut oil to thin it out.
- Dip and decorate: Using a fork, dip each cookie ball completely into the melted chocolate. Place the coated truffles back onto the lined sheet pan. If desired, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles immediately after dipping.
- Set the chocolate and serve: Allow the chocolate coating to set for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate to speed up the process. Once set, enjoy your delicious truffles.
Notes
- For firmer truffles, chill the dough balls longer before dipping.
- Use good-quality dipping chocolate or chocolate chips for best flavor and texture.
- Sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch perfect for celebrations.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If the chocolate hardens too much while dipping, gently reheat it to maintain smooth consistency.
