Sugar Cookie Truffles

Merry Christmas!! The month of December is usually filled with parties that involve plenty of cookies. These truffles make a great addition to any cookie plate and only take a few extra steps once you have all of the Christmas cookies already made.

Pair With: Hassleback Potatoes with Goat Cheese + Gorgonzola; Vanilla Cranberry Mimosas; Honey Roasted Carrots with Pomegranate and Goat Cheese; and Mushroom + Camembert Wellingtons.

Recipe from If You Give A Blonde A Kitchen.

Ingredients:

-10 sugar cookies

-3 tablespoons neufchatel cheese, room temperature

-2 cups white chocolate for melting (or candy melts)

-Sprinkles for decoration

Smash the sugar cookies until they are fine crumbs -- you can do with with a food processor or by placing the sugar cookies in a ziplock bag and then smashing them with a rolling pin. Add the neufchatel cheese to the crumbs and mix together until a dough forms.

Shape cookies into balls about 1-inch to 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 15 minutes

Near the end of the 15 minutes, melt the white chocolate in a medium bowl and then remove the sugar cookie balls from freezer.

Coat one frozen sugar cookie balls in the melted chocolate, place them back on the parchment paper, and immediately top with sprinkles. Repeat for the remaining sugar cookies and once the chocolate has hardened, store in the fridge.
