Cookie Truffles
Ingredients:
1 package sandwich cookies (the original recipe called for Oreos but I made mine more festive for the holidays by making a batch with Candy Cane Joe Joe's and a batch with Newman O's Ginger Cookies)
1-8 oz tub of tofutti cream cheese
1 package vegan chocolate chips (if dipping the truffles)*
Directions:
1. Process cookies into fine crumbs in the food processor.
2. Mix softened cream cheese in with crumbs. Combine completely.
3. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let it set a little.
4. Roll mixture into small balls (I used a medium sized ice cream scoop). Refrigerate again until firm.
5. If dipping, melt chocolate chips and dip truffles until evenly coated. Refrigerate to set the chocolate coating.
5. Enjoy!
*Note - Dipping any chocolate or peanut butter cream cookies in chocolate will always be delicious. I didn't know how the ginger cookies would taste so I rolled them in powdered sugar. They looked great for a little bit but then condensed and formed more of a glaze (which isn't bad either). You could also try vegan white chocolate for those.

I told you it was really really easy. You can honestly just leave the mixture in a bowl and just spoon it into your mouth it is that good. :)
Yum! I made a version of these with the newman o's last year. So sweet, but so good. I've been dying to try them with the ginger o's, because I love those things!
ReplyDelete13 inches of snow later, I'm still here - so maybe there's hope of me sampling one of these! Then again, they are so cute I might just stare at them instead! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely writing down this recipe!
Wow, cool recipe! Who would guess it was so straightforward to produce such elegant little treats!
ReplyDeleteI love those oreo balls! We make them every year. I bet they would be great with the ginger o's too. I actually wanted to make them this year with the mint oreos, but that hasn't happened....yet. :o)
ReplyDeleteSuch an easy recipe! I'm tempted to make these for the holidays.....
ReplyDeleteCrafty - Def try with the Ginger cookies, they are delicious and perfect for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteIngrid - THey are so easy it is definitely worth a try! I'm so glad you got them today!
Rose - Sometimes the simplest ones are the best! Definitely waaaaay less effort than the half baked truffles!
Michelle - I definitely recommend trying the mint oreos. SO GOOD.
Molly - You should definitely make them! They are so easy and look like you spent all day making them :)
I bet they taste good, but they also look beautiful. I especially love the second picture with the green paper cups.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm happy or not that you gave away the recipe. Thought they'd be ultra-complex and I'd never make them.
ReplyDeleteMiss Rachel - they are really delicious, especially the candy cane Joe Joe flavor! The texture is really nice too.
ReplyDeleteShen - haha nope super easy! You should def give them a try!
