Directions

1. Start by crushing the sugar cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

2. In a large bowl, mix the crushed sugar cookies with softened cream cheese. Stir until fully combined, creating a dough-like consistency.

3. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. Place the truffle balls in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.

5. While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.

6. Once the truffles are chilled, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated.

7. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with optional sprinkles or mini chocolate chips for decoration.

8. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
