Ingredients

Optional toppings:

  • cookie crumbs, sea salt, sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Place sandwich cookies in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse cookies until you have very fine crumbs.
  • Transfer cookie crumbs to a large bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons to use as garnish. Add cream cheese and stir to combine. Using the back of a large spoon or spatula is helpful in incorporating the ingredients. Then add vanilla extract and salt.
    Use your hands to completely incorporate ingredients, if needed.
  • Using a tablespoon or #40 size cookie scoop, scoop out generous tablespoons and roll them into ball with your hands. Place dough balls in even rows on the prepared baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill balls.
  • When ready to dip, remove baking sheet from refrigerator. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring after each with a rubber spatula, until most of the chips have melted. Then stir until all are completely melted.
  • Using two forks, drop a cookie ball into the melted chocolate. Quickly rotate it in the chocolate to coat, then pick it up with the forks and gently shake to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place back on the baking sheet.
    Sprinkle with extra cookie crumbs or other topping, if desired. Continue until all cookie dough balls are coated.
  • Place baking sheet in the refrigerator for chocolate to set for at least one hour.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.

Notes

  • *Do not use double-stuffed sandwich cookies. This will add too much cream to the mixture.
  • Using 2 forks is the easiest and cleanest way to dip truffles. It allows excess chocolate to drain and gives you an easy way to push the truffle off onto the baking sheet. It can get a little messy.
