Ingredients Needed

Oreo Cookies – I like to use Golden Oreos that are Double Stuf. You can use regular Golden Oreos, or even traditional chocolate Oreo cookies. You can also use store bought sugar or shortbread cookies.

Cream Cheese – Soft the cream cheese at least 15 minutes to make blending easier. You can use low fat or fat free cream cheese as well.

Vanilla – Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the truffles. You can substitute it for almond extract or leave it out completely.

White Chocolate – Use melting wafers, candy melts, or almond bark. White chocolate chips are make not to melt and hold their shape. If you have to use these, do not leave out the coconut oil.

Coconut Oil – This helps the white chocolate stay smooth and give the truffles a smooth finish. If you use melting wafers or candy melts you can leave this out.

Sprinkles – Pick festive sprinkles to match your special occasion or leave them off and enjoy them plain.

First: In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they resemble rough sand or are fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract. Store or pulse to combine to make a batter move to a medium bowl.

Second: Scoop the batter into balls and place on a parchment paper or wax paper lined baking sheet. Chill for 20 minutes to set up. While chilling, melt chocolate.

Third: Place the white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until the white chocolate is melted and smooth.

Fourth: Bring out the truffles and roll in your hands to smooth them out. Dip the truffles one at a time in the melted chocolate. Tap the fork or run along bowl edge to remove excess chocolate. Place back on the parchment paper lined baking sheet and top with sprinkles.

White chocolate is different from semi sweet and dark chocolate when melting. It can scorch easily so you need to be careful.

Because chips are made to keep their shape when baked, these are not the best option for melting. I prefer to use melting wafers, candy melts, or even almond bark/candy coating (found in most baking aisles!)

Tips for Melting White Chocolate

Place the wafers in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals. It’s best to set your microwave at 50% power level. If you can’t then use 15 second intervals.

Stir between each cooking interval to avoid hot spots and don’t over heat.

I microwave just until about 75% of the white chocolate is melted. Then stir for a minute or two to melt remaining chunks. The warmth will continue to melt chocolate in the bowl as you stir.

If you microwave until everything is completely melted you can scorch the chocolate and you won’t be able to use it. Do not add water or get water in the melted chocolate as it will cause it to seize up.

This recipe calls for coconut oil and I would use it if you have to use white chocolate chips. If you find the melting wafers, you can leave it out.

Dip the cookie truffles in the chocolate and tap off the excess. Decorate quickly!

Can I freeze them?

You can freeze the truffles before or after you dip them. If you freeze before dipping, let them warm a bit as the chocolate coating can crack if the truffle is too cold when dipping.

Once they are dipped you can freeze them in an air tight container for up 2 months. Freeze on the baking sheet with space between them, then transfer to the final storage container. This keeps them from sticking together.

Can I use a different cookie?

Feel free to use regular or flavored Oreo cookies. You can also use regular sugar cookies or shortbread cookies, either homemade or store bought.

Tapas Tips & Tricks

Use a hard cookie, not a soft and chewy cookie.
Crush the cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin if you don’t want to use a food processor.
Switch up the Golden Oreos and use regular or flavored Oreos!
Use white chocolate designed for melting. Melting wafers, candy melts, and even almond bark are best.
Chilling the truffles helps the chocolate coating set up quicker. Because of this, you will need to quickly decorate or the sprinkles won’t stick.
These freeze beautifully so you can make them ahead of time and keep a batch for sweet emergencies.
If the chocolate starts to thicken or get hard while you are dipping the truffles, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to melt it again.
Use dipping tools to make it easier and less messy. If you don’t have any on hand, use a fork and a tooth pick.
Remove the excess chocolate before placing on the baking sheet to reduce the pool around the bottom.

Freaky Friday

What is Freaky Friday? It’s a recipe exchange put on by Michaela over at An Affair from the Heart. There are about a dozen people each time that get assigned a fellow foodie website to make a recipe from to share with our readers.

It’s a win-win because we get to make a tried and true recipe from a friend and share it with our readers and you get to hear about another great food website you might not have found!

This time around I got Kathyrn who blogs at Kathryn’s Kitchen Blog.

Kathyrn lives in sunny California and shares some AMAZING recipes! She strives for simple recipes that are healthy and easy to make. And after all my cheese and bacon eating I desperately need some healthy dishes to make.

She started cooking young and associates so many wonderful memories with that time in the kitchen. I am the same way! Not only great memories but life lessons that I carry with me today.

We are like soul sisters because she comes from an Italian family that also owns restaurants!

In choosing a recipe to make from her drool worthy list, I was torn between the corn fritters that I make over and over again, the homemade tuna poke that my husband wanted, and the cheese pizza roll ups that my son can’t stop eating!

I finally decided on these sugar cookie truffles because I love a bite-sized treat!

If you love this recipe as much as I do, please write a five-star review in the comment section below (or on Pinterest with the “tried it” button – you can now add pictures into reviews, too!), and be sure to help me share on facebook!
