1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Holiday sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Bake the sugar cookie dough according to package directions. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Crumble the cooled cookies into fine crumbs in a large bowl. You can use a food processor or your hands.
Add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs.
Mix the ingredients together until a uniform dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions, often using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Add coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick.
Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or dipping tool.
Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
Immediately sprinkle the tops with holiday sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
If you want a Lofthouse-style flavor, use a pre-made, soft-baked sugar cookie instead of baking from scratch.
You can substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate for the white chocolate coating if preferred.
Make these truffles ahead of time; they store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
