Ingredients

3 ½ ounces - Sugar cookies
4 ounces - Cream Cheese
1 cup - Funfetti Candy Melts
Funfetti Sprinkles
1 tbsp - Shortening

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.
