Today’s Cookie Friday recipe probably does not have much of a connection to cookies when you take a look at the pictures only. Cookies are not the result of today’s new recipe but an ingredient in the dough of these little fellas you can see. Today the cookies got pimped into cute and delicious Sugar Cookie Truffles.
Last Friday I published the recipe for super easy sugar cookies. Back then I mentioned already that you can use those cookies for bakes and other desserts. Like biscuit cookies, they are very versatile – not only good for a sweet snack along with your tea or coffee.
The truffles are basically cake pops without the cake and without the pop… I mean the stick. Yes, you can make cake pops with cookies and call them cookie truffles. It’s basically the same – a basic cake/cookie with some cream cheese and an additional flavor like vanilla. That’s it. Some melted chocolate on top, sprinkles and you’re done. There is one important thing though – try to make them round and not shaped like stones or eggs. That’s what mine look like. Not cute but still edible.
You can also add some chopped chocolate to the dough, nuts or sprinkles – just make sure it’s not too much. If the dough does not stick together anymore you added too much.
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(etwa 15 Truffles)
Für die Truffles:
12 Sugar Cookies (ca. 200g)
2-3 EL Frischkäse
1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt*
Für die Glasur:
150g weiße Schokolade*
1 TL Kokosöl*
einige bunte Zuckerperlen*
(about 15 truffles)
For the truffles:
12 sugar cookies (about 7 oz./200g)
2-3 tbsp. cream cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract*
For the coating:
5.3 oz. (150g) white chocolate*
1 tsp. coconut oil*
some funfetti sprinkles*
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Crush the cookies with a rolling pin in a freezer bag or with a food processor… or your hands until you get very fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix until well combined and a dough starts coming together. Form about 15 balls and place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
2. Chop the white chocolate and melt it together with the oil either in a bowl over a pot with simmering water or in several steps in the microwave. Dip the balls into the chocolate to cover them completely, then place on a wire rack or a piece of baking parchment. Sprinkle with the sprinkles. Let cool down/harden completely, then store in the fridge (max. 2-3 days).
1. Die Kekse in einem Gefrierbeutel mit einem Nudelholz zu feinen Bröseln verarbeiten oder mit dem Mixer klein hacken. Geht zur Not auch mit den Händen. Die Brösel mit dem Frischkäse und dem Vanille Extrakt zu einem kompakten Teig vermengen. Aus dem Teig dann etwa 15 kleine Kugeln formen und für etwa 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.
2. Die weiße Schokolade grob hacken und dann zusammen mit dem Fett schmelzen – entweder über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser oder vorsichtig in der Mikrowelle. Die Kugeln in die Schokolade tauchen, damit sie komplett bedeckt sind, und dann entweder auf ein Gitter oder ein Stück Backpapier legen und mit den Zuckerperlen bestreuen. Komplett abkühlen/trocknen lassen und dann im Kühlschrank lagern (max. 2-3 Tage).
