Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups crushed snickerdoodle cookies (about 15 cookies)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coating
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or almond bark
Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the truffle mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed snickerdoodle cookies, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until a soft, dough-like consistency forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the truffles: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small scoop. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the coating: While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate chips or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to ensure full coverage. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Add the cinnamon-sugar topping: Immediately sprinkle each coated truffle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture to add a sweet and spicy finish.
- Set the chocolate: Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets completely. Alternatively, refrigerate them until firm to speed up the process.
Notes
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For a festive touch, drizzle extra melted white chocolate over the truffles or roll them in additional crushed snickerdoodles before the coating sets.
