Description

Sugar Cookie Truffles are delightful, bite-sized treats combining the soft texture of cake mix dough with a creamy white chocolate coating and festive sprinkles. These no-bake truffles are perfect for holiday parties or as a sweet gift, offering rich vanilla flavor and a crunchy sprinkle finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Dough

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 2 cups white cake mix
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles

Coating and Garnish

  • 10 oz white chocolate wafers or chopped white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat Cake Mix: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the white cake mix evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cake mix reaches 160 degrees F to ensure it is heat-treated. Remove from oven and let cool completely without burning.
  2. Prepare Truffle Dough: Cover a large cookie sheet with waxed paper. Cut the softened butter into pieces and add to a large mixing bowl along with the cooled cake mix and cane sugar. Using a fork, blend the butter into the cake mix until fully combined and a smooth dough forms. Add vanilla extract and mix thoroughly with your hands. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Christmas sprinkles.
  3. Form Truffle Balls: Using a cookie scoop, measure about 1 tablespoon of dough. Roll the dough into balls using your palms and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Freeze the balls for 10 minutes to firm up before coating.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir well, then continue microwaving in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Coat Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Place coated truffles back on the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with remaining Christmas sprinkles.
  6. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the coated truffles for 20 to 30 minutes or until the white chocolate hardens completely.
  7. Storage: Store the sugar cookie truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 to 10 days to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the cake mix is essential to eliminate any potential bacteria before consuming raw ingredients.
  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier blending.
  • Freeze truffle balls briefly before coating to prevent melting of the chocolate.
  • Use a fork when dipping to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Store truffles in the fridge to keep the white chocolate coating firm and the truffles fresh.
  • Variations: Use colored sprinkles for different holidays or add a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract for extra flavor.
