More About This Recipe
- Part cookie, part candy, we love the unique texture of these sweet treats. It’s a fun, unexpected choice to make for your Christmas cookie tray. Holiday cookie trays can be a cinch to make when you host a cookie exchange--you bake one kind of cookie but end up with as many kinds of cookies as you have guests! Check out our cookie exchange hosting tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can use colored candy melts, available where baking supplies are sold or online for the vanilla-flavored candy coating in this sugar cookie truffles to color the balls to suit the holiday (or dare we say, your favorite team colors). And change up the candy sprinkles to match! Try brown candy melts with orange sprinkles for Halloween sugar cookie balls or baby blue candy melts with pink sprinkles for a gender-reveal party.
Almond bark and white chocolate are frequently used interchangeably for “white chocolate” in recipes. We prefer almond bark (candy coating) for this recipe because it’s easier to melt without seizing (which can easily happen with white chocolate) and will set up nicely without your fingers being sticky when you eat the cookie ball truffles.
