Instructions

Grease two cookie sheets and set aside.

Place the sugar cookies and cream cheese in a food processor and combine until a dough forms.

Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough into 1 Tablespoon-sized scoops.

Roll each scoop into a firm ball.

Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 25 seconds, stir, and reheat as needed.

If the candy melts are too stiff despite being properly melted, stir in the optional shortening.

Dip each sugar cookie ball in the melted candy coating and allow the excess candy to drip off.

Place each dipped sugar cookie truffle on the prepared cookie sheets.

Scoop the remaining candy melts into a piping bag. Make a small snip at the bottom and drizzle over the truffles.

Add sprinkles while the candy coating is still wet.

Allow candy coating to set fully before storing or serving, about 1 hour.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cream Cheese Temperature Trick 🌡️
Allow cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free blending with sugar cookies.
Sprinkle Suspension Magic 🎉
Freeze funfetti sprinkles for 10 minutes before mixing to prevent color bleeding and maintain vibrant appearance in the truffles.
Truffle Sizing Perfection ✋
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measure to create uniform truffle sizes, ensuring consistent coating and presentation.
Candy Melt Melting Mastery 🍬
Melt candy melts in 15-second microwave intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent scorching and achieve a smooth dipping consistency.
Chill for Structural Integrity 🧊
Refrigerate truffles for at least 15 minutes before coating to help them maintain shape and prevent crumbling during the dipping process.
