Almond bark, cream cheese, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and golden oreo cookies.

Golden Oreos — When crushed, these cookies act as a chewy vanilla-flavored truffle base.
Cream Cheese — Softened brick cream cheese works best. You could also use whipped cream cheese in a pinch.
Almond Bark — Or white melting chocolates.
Cinnamon — Gives these truffles that quintessential cinnamon sugar snickerdoodle flavor.
Vanilla — Just a splash adds some comforting home-baked flavor.
Sprinkles — Completely optional but will add a festive pop of color. We used these holly sprinkles.

How to make Snickerdoole Cookie Truffles

This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

Mix truffle dough: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crushed Oreos, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Roll and chill: Roll into 1-inch balls and chill for at least an hour.
Dip: Dip each truffle into melted almond bark. Make sure that each truffle is completely coated in the white chocolate and allow any excess to dip off before returning to baking sheet.
Decorate and allow to set: If using sprinkles, add them to the top of the truffles before they start to set. Then return truffles to the refrigerator to set fully before serving.

Storage

Store snicker doodle truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

You can also freeze these cookie truffles for up to 2 months.

I enjoy snacking on these Oreo truffles when they’re cold, but they’re also very tasty at room temperature. It is a matter of preference.

Additions and variations

Swap the cookies. Not a fan of snickerdoodles? You can make these easy truffles with almost any kind of cookie. Omit the cinnamon and swap out the golden Oreos for regular Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or sugar cookies for a tasty twist.
Skip the sprinkles. If you don’t want to run out and buy sprinkles, you can top these snickerdoodle cookie truffles with a dash of cinnamon, some brown sugar, or additional golden Oreo crumbs.

Recipe Tips

Avoid coating these truffles in melted white chocolate chips. Unlike almond bark or white melting chocolate, melted chocolate chips won’t set up as well at room temperature.
Use a small cookie scoop to shape your snickerdoodle truffle dough into uniform-size small balls quickly.
Truffle balls too sticky to work with? Pop them back in the fridge or freezer for 15-30 minutes to harden up again.
Almond bark sets quickly, so be sure to have your sprinkles ready to decorate as soon as your truffles have been dipped.

Recipe FAQ

How do you crush Oreos into crumbs?

I find that a food processor is the best way to crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender or place the cookies into a freezer baggie and crush them with the smooth end of a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin.

Do I remove the filling from the oreo cookies before crushing?

No, crush the cookies right from the package. Do not remove the filling.

Can I make these truffles with actual snickerdoodles?

Sure! I find the combination of golden Oreos, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to taste just like a Snickerdoodle. However, you can also crush snickerdoodle cookies up and blend them with some cream cheese to make your own version of the no bake truffles.

Snickerdoodle Truffles

Author: Jaclyn

Prep: 30

Chill Time 30

Total: 1

A tasty twist on classic Oreo truffles, Snickerdoodle truffles are made with golden Oreos, cream cheese, and cinnamon coated in decadent white chocolate.

Ingredients

▢ 8 ounces cream cheese softened
▢ 36 golden Oreo cookies 14.3 ounce package
▢ 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 16 ounces vanilla almond bark
▢ sprinkles optional

Instructions

Line a sheet pan or rimmed tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Use a food processor to crush the cookies to fine crumbs. You will likely need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cookie crumbs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to mix together until well combined.
Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
When ready to dip, melt the almond bark in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
One at a time, use a candy dipping tool or fork to dip each ball into the melted almond bark. Allow the excess melted chocolate to drop off before placing the coated truffle back onto a lined sheet pan. If using sprinkles, add them to the top of the truffles immediately before the coating begins to set.
Allow the truffles to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow them to set before storing or serving.

Notes

Separate layers with wax paper to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.

If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender or place the cookies into a freezer baggie and crush them with the smooth end of a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin. Try to get them to as fine a crumb as possible.
