Valentine Mini-Cookie Truffles

Happy Valentine’s Day! I bet you have dreams and plans of dinner and flowers! Make a little room to add this treat to you V-day plans. These mini-cookie truffles are a twist on a recipe ((Teenie Cookie Butter Balls)) I recently shared, you can view it here. They were a real hit – so I decided to give them a Valentine’s Day makeover.((Teenie Cookie Butter Balls)) — don’t they look tasty??

For my Valentine’s Day twist, I used strawberry wafer cookies, shortbread cookies, cream cheese, a drop of cake flavoring ((I would omit this next time — I think it tasted fake)), white candy coating & the all important sprinkles.

First, place the cookies in the food processor.

Pulse and add cream cheese.

Pulse until the cookies & cheese form a ball.

Refrigerate the cookie mixture while melting the white candy coating & lining baking sheets.

Using a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon, roll the cookie mixture into balls.

Dip each ball into the coating.

Place the coated ball onto a parchment lined baking sheet & top with a pinch of sprinkles. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Or eat them all immediately, haha. Gracie & I packaged them up for delivery to all of her Valentines.

Ingredients

1. 1 package strawberry wafer cookies
2. 1 sleeve of shortbread cookies ((like Lorna Doone))
3. 1 package of white can coating ((Candi-Quik works best I think))
4. 1 8 oz block of cream cheese
5. 4-5 T Valentine sprinkles

Instructions

1. Place cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add cream cheese & continue pulsing until a large cookie ball forms.
2. Place the cookie mixture into a medium bowl & refrigerate until ready to dip.
3. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper & melt candy coating according to package instructions. Place sprinkles in a small bowl near your working station so they are easy to reach. Remove cookie mixture from the fridge. Using a 1 teaspoon spoon, scoop even amounts of dough, roll into a ball. Dip the ball into the melted candy coating and place on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of sprinkles on top of each truffle before the candy coating hardens. Continue until all the cookie mixture has been used.
4. Makes 80-90 mini truffles.

Notes

1. Get ready for a St. Patty's Day twist -- you know it's coming!
