Delightfully creamy and cinnamon-spiced Snickerdoodle Truffles made with golden Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and a smooth vanilla almond bark coating. Perfect for holiday gifting or as a decadent treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 36 golden Oreo cookies (about a 14.3-ounce package)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 16 ounces (1 pound) vanilla almond bark (or white melting chocolate)

Optional

  • Sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet or rimmed tray with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the truffles from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place the golden Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush thoroughly with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  3. Mix the truffle base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Oreo crumbs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are completely blended into a consistent dough-like mixture.
  4. Form the truffle balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  5. Chill the truffles: Refrigerate the formed truffle balls for at least 1 hour. This step firms them up and makes them easier to dip in chocolate coating later.
  6. Melt the coating: Break the vanilla almond bark or white melting chocolate into manageable pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the coating is fully melted and smooth without lumps.
  7. Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted coating, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, immediately decorate with sprinkles before the coating sets.
  8. Set the coating: Place the dipped truffles back into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is completely hardened and set.
  9. Serve or store: Once set, serve the truffles immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth mixture.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, crushing the Oreos in a sealed bag with a rolling pin works just as well.
  • Vanilla almond bark can be substituted with white melting chocolate or high-quality white chocolate chips.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container refrigerated; they can be frozen for longer storage.
  • Add sprinkles or colored sugar immediately after dipping for a festive look.
