Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use store-bought cookies?
Absolutely. If you don’t have extra sugar cookies laying around, you can pick up some sugar cookies from the bakery at your grocery store. Make sure they are the harder sugar cookies – not the Lofthouse-style soft ones. Those won’t work for this recipe. You need the harder crumbles for these truffles.
Can this recipe be doubled?
Yes, if you are making this for a large crowd or giving away as gifts, you can definitely double this recipe. It is easy to do & everyone will love having more of these around.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Sugar Cookie Truffles?
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper & set aside.
- Place the sugar cookies in a food processor & pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Add in cream cheese & process again until well-combined.
- Scoop 1 tbsp of dough mixture & roll between hands to form 1″ balls & then place on prepared baking sheet.
- Place the rolled dough into the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling you can melt the chocolate by placing in a microwave-safe bowl & heating in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds.
- Stir & microwave again for 20 seconds at 50% power level.
- Continue until chocolate is smooth.
- Remove the chilled dough from the freezer.
- Use 2 forks to dip the chilled dough balls into the melted chocolate, turning to coat. Tap off any excess chocolate before returning the truffle to the baking sheet.
- Immediately top with desired sprinkles.
- Repeat the process until you have coated all of the chilled dough balls.

Can I freeze sugar cookie truffles?
Yes, but make sure you freeze after you coat them in chocolate. The freezer can dry out the dough over time. This will result in a crumbly center – which is not what you want when making truffles. Truffles are meant to be creamy & smooth in the center.
To make this recipe you will need…
- sugar cookies
- cream cheese
- white chocolate candy melts
- sprinkles
What is the best way to store leftover truffles?
The easiest way is to place in a large airtight container & store at room temperature. I like a large plastic bowl with a lid or a zip-top bag works great too. If you live in an unusually warm climate, you might want to keep these in the refrigerator.
What are the best sprinkles for these truffles?
This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in-fact sprinkles. I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labled as sprinkles. This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when sprinkled on top of melted chocolate or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.
To avoid this – use jimmies instead. These are real sprinkles & will not only keep their color, but they won’t dissolve over time either.
How many does this serve?
This recipe makes about 18 truffles. So, plan accordingly. It is the perfect size for our family of 5 to enjoy or to have along with other desserts at a party or to give away as a gift. But if you aren’t going to have a lot of other desserts available – these will go quite quickly.
