Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 cups finely crumbled butter cookies or sugar cookies
  • 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts, melted

Optional Toppings

  • Sprinkles or colored sugar for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crumbs: Start by crushing your sugar cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and pounding gently with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix in the Butter and Extracts: Combine softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy before folding in the cookie crumbs thoroughly.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls with your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the cookie balls for at least 30 minutes to firm them up before dipping, so they hold their shape in the coating.
  5. Dip in Melted Chocolate: Gently dip each chilled ball into melted white chocolate or candy melts, allowing the excess to drip off. Place back on parchment paper. Add sprinkles quickly if desired.
  6. Final Chill: Put the dipped truffles back in the fridge to set the chocolate coating completely, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for smooth mixing and consistent texture.
  • Crush cookies finely for smoother and more cohesive truffles.
  • Mix just until combined to keep texture light, not dense.
  • Keep hands cool when rolling; chill mixture if it gets too soft.
  • Choose good-quality white chocolate or candy melts for glossy finish and flavor.
  • Store truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • You can freeze truffles on a tray then store in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
