Snickerdoodle Truffles Recipe

Introduction

Snickerdoodle Truffles are a delightful twist on the classic cookie flavor, combining creamy cream cheese and cinnamon-spiced golden Oreos. These bite-sized treats are perfect for any occasion and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 36 golden Oreo cookies (about a 14.3-ounce package)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 16 ounces (1 pound) vanilla almond bark or white melting chocolate
• Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet or rimmed tray with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: Crush the golden Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Oreo crumbs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Step 5: Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
6. Step 6: Melt the vanilla almond bark or white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well until smooth.
7. Step 7: Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted coating, let the excess drip off, and return to the baking sheet. Add sprinkles immediately if using.
8. Step 8: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 1 more hour until the coating is fully set before serving or storing.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon in the filling.
• Use dark or milk chocolate for dipping if you prefer a richer coating instead of white chocolate.
• Add finely chopped nuts or coconut flakes to the coating for added texture.
• If you don’t have vanilla almond bark, white chocolate chips melted with a little vegetable oil will work well.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. For longer storage, freeze the truffles in a sealed container for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of golden Oreos?

Yes, regular Oreos can be used, but they will change the flavor and color of the truffles, creating more of a chocolate base rather than the snickerdoodle-inspired taste.

Do I need a food processor to crush the cookies?

No, you can place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or a heavy object until finely ground. A food processor just makes the process quicker and easier.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Truffle Mixture

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 36 golden Oreo cookies (about 14.3 ounces)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

• 16 ounces (1 pound) vanilla almond bark (or white melting chocolate)
• Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

1. Prepare Equipment: Line a baking sheet or rimmed tray with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
2. Crush Cookies: Use a food processor to finely crush the golden Oreos into crumbs or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Oreo crumbs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is homogeneous and holds together well.
4. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Chill: Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and make them easier to dip in the coating.
6. Melt Coating: Gently melt the vanilla almond bark or white melting chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted without overheating.
7. Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted almond bark, allowing excess coating to drip off before placing back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, immediately decorate with sprinkles.
8. Set Coating: Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until the coating is firm and completely set.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing.
• Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and to make cleanup easier.
• Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before the coating sets.
• Can be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
• Substitute regular Oreos for a different flavor variation.
