Welcome to Devour Dish! You want a sweet treat that tastes exactly like a soft sugar cookie but skips the oven entirely. These **no-bake truffles** are incredibly simple, require few ingredients, and are perfect for **edible gifts** or **holiday candy ideas**. Get ready for a quick dessert fix that delivers maximum satisfaction.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) package store-bought soft sugar cookies (or about 3 cups crumbled)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother dipping)
  • Assorted sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Place the sugar cookies in a large bowl or a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse until you have fine crumbs. If mixing by hand, crush the cookies thoroughly until they resemble coarse sand.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a sturdy spoon or use the food processor until the mixture comes together into a thick, uniform dough. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the cream cheese.
  3. Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This recipe yields about 24-30 truffles.
  4. Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This step is crucial for easy dipping.
  5. Prepare the white chocolate coating. Place the white chocolate wafers (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Do not overheat.
  6. Remove the chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You can use a fork or a dipping tool for this.
  7. Immediately place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, top with your desired sprinkles.
  8. Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the hardening process.
  9. Store your **white chocolate truffles** in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • For a **Lofthouse cookie flavor**, use a very soft, bakery-style sugar cookie as your base.
  • If the truffle mixture feels too soft to roll, chill the dough for an extra 15 minutes before shaping.
  • These are excellent **make ahead desserts**; they freeze well for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
  • If you prefer a different coating, milk or dark chocolate works well instead of white chocolate.
