Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender
  • Hand or Stand Mixer

Ingredients
  

Truffles

  • 6 cups ground sugar cookies approx 36 palm-sized, 1/4 inch cookies
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • sprinkles

Sugar Cookies

  • 1/2 cup Earth Balance non-dairy butter melted
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 2 Tbs honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups almond flour packed
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour not packed
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

Homemade Sugar Cookies

  • Place the wet ingredients into a mixing bowl/stand mixer with the whisk attachment and mix until combined.
  • Change to a dough hook or use a spoon. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl, and mix until a dough is formed.
  • Shape the dough into to equal dough balls and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350F
  • Sprinkle coconut flour on a surface and begin to roll out the dough. You can separate the dough into smaller balls if it makes the rolling easier. Aim for the dough to be about 1/4 thick.
  • Cut out 36 cookies and place on a parchment-lined baking sheets. There will be extra dough to make approx 5 more cookies
  • Bake cookies on the middle rack for 11 minutes
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the sheet for 1 minute.
  • Remove cookies from the sheet and place on a cooling rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes before placing using them

Assembling the Balls

  • Place the cookies in a food processor or blender and grind up into fine pieces
  • Dump the ground sugar cookies into a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Add the cream cheese to the bowl and mix for 1 minute, until the cream cheese is completely mixed into the sugar cookies to make a "dough"
  • Place half of the bag of chocolate into a microwave safe dish
  • Microwave the chocolate for 20-30 seconds, carefully remove from the microwave and stir. Repeat this until the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
  • Using a melon baller, scoop out the sugar cookie dough to make 24 balls. Set aside
  • One at a time, drop each ball and swirl it around in the chocolate. Remove it with a fork and place it on parchment paper. Sprinkle immediately and allow to harden before transferring. Repeat this process for all 24 balls.
  • When the truffles have cooled, place them in a container and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.

Notes

Recipe is only 30 minutes if using store bought cookies. If cookies are store bought, they should not be too soft or they will not pulverize well in the blender to form the dough. The homemade sugar cookie dough will make approx. 40 cookies, so you will have some left over.
