Crum extractble the Cookies
The first step is to break down our star ingredient: the Lofthouse cookies. You want to get them into very fine crum extractbs. I find the easiest way to do this is to place the 10 Lofthouse cookies into a food processor and pulse until they form a fine, powdery texture. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a sturdy zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the flat side of a heavy pan until they are finely crum extractbled. The finer the crum extractbs, the smoother your truffle mixture will be, so don’t be afraid to really break them down. You should end up with a consistency similar to breadcrum extractbs. Make sure to scrape any frosting from the cookies into the bowl with the crum extractbs. We want all that sugar cookie goodness in our truffles!
Mix the Base
Next, we’ll combine the cookie crum extractbs with the softened cream cheese. Make sure your cream cheese is truly softened; this is crucial for a smooth, well-combined mixture. If it’s too cold, it will be lumpy. You can soften cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about an hour, or by gently microwaving it in short 10-second intervals, being careful not to melt it. Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl with your finely crum extractbled Lofthouse cookies. Using a spatula or a sturdy spoon, mix them together thoroughly until they are well incorporated and form a thick, dough-like consistency. It might seem a little sticky, but that’s exactly what we want. This mixture will be the base for our delicious truffles.
Chill and Shape
Once the cookie and cream cheese mixture is thoroughly combined, it’s time to chill it. This step is really important because it firms up the mixture, making it much easier to roll into balls without it sticking to your hands excessively. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to handle. After chilling, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You can use a small cookie scoop for uniform size. If the mixture starts to get too sticky as you work, you can briefly pop it back into the fridge for another 10-15 minutes. Place the rolled balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet as you work.
Melt the Chocolate
Now for the decadent part – dipping! We need to melt our dipping chocolate. The easiest way to do this is using a double boiler method or your microwave. For the double boiler, fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add your dipping chocolate and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the bowl. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. For the microwave method, place the dipping chocolate and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. The coconut oil helps to thin the chocolate, making it perfect for dipping and giving it a beautiful shine. You can add the second tablespoon of coconut oil if your chocolate seems too thick after melting.
Dip and Decorate
Once your chocolate is melted and smooth, it’s time to dip! Carefully dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or a toothpick to help coat it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you’re using sprinkles, now is the perfect time to add them! Sprinkle them over the wet chocolate before it sets. Work quickly, as the chocolate will start to harden. Once all your truffles are dipped, you can pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has set completely. This will ensure your truffles are firm and ready to enjoy. These are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time?
Yes, absolutely! You can prepare the sugar cookie dough and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just make sure to let it soften slightly at room temperature before proceeding with the truffle-making process.
What kind of white chocolate is best for dipping?
For the smoothest melting and best coating, I recommend using good quality melting wafers or confectionery coating specifically designed for dipping. Real white chocolate can be tricky to work with and may require additional tempering.
How long do these truffles last?
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Truffles will stay fresh for about a week. They are best enjoyed at room temperature.
