Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Lofthouse-style soft sugar cookies
- 113 grams cream cheese, softened
- 227 grams dipping chocolate or candy melts
- 15–30 millilitres coconut oil
- Christmas sprinkles, for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Place the sugar cookies in the bowl of a stand mixer and process on medium speed until finely crumbled.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbs and mix until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
- Measure approximately 22 grams (1.5 tablespoons) of dough per ball. Compress the dough in your hands and roll into even spheres. Transfer onto a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Refrigerate the shaped truffles for 3 minutes to firm slightly.
- Combine dipping chocolate with half of the coconut oil and melt over a double boiler or in a microwave using 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Adjust with additional coconut oil if needed to achieve fluid consistency.
- Dip the chilled truffle balls into the melted chocolate using a fork. Tap gently to remove excess and immediately top with sprinkles if desired. Return coated truffles to the parchment-lined pan.
- Allow the truffles to rest until the chocolate is fully set, at least 10 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate for varying flavors.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
