This holiday season I am craving sugar cookies. You know, those sweet and buttery cookies with a sprinkle finish. They’re simple and understated but the perfect holiday treat.
If you’re craving the holiday treats too but don’t quite want to commit to turning on your oven and doing the whole thing, you are going to love these No Bake Sugar Cookie Truffles!! They have a deliciously sweet white chocolate outside with a tasty sprinkle crunch. Then you’re met with a buttery, sugary filling reminiscent of cake pops.
Speaking of cake pops, when my cousin Lauren got married, she had cake pops in lieu of traditional cake. And we all were on the dance floor with our cake pops singing, “Hit me with your cake pop, fire awayyyy” I think it was our take on the Pat Benatar song? Truth be told, I just googled “who sings hit me with your best shot.” Also, full disclosure my memory is a bit hazy of the evening and we could have very well been singing another song inserting cake pop into it. I’m pretttty sure it was Pat Benatar, though. If anyone present at the wedding remembers, please comment below!

Ingredients to make sugar cookie truffles:
- unsalted softened butter (ghee, refined coconut oil, or whipped cream cheese works too)
- agave nectar (honey or maple syrup is fine)
- vanilla extract
- blanched almond flour
- salt
- white chocolate chips
- refined coconut oil
- sprinkles
How to make sugar cookie truffles:
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter (ghee, refined coconut oil or cream cheese works too), agave nectar, and vanilla until combined.
Then, add the blanched almond flour and salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients together until very well incorporated.
In a small, microwaveable bowl, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Use two teaspoons or a small cookie scooper to scoop the dough batter out into your hands. Roll the dough between your hands to make it smooth. Drop it into the white chocolate and use another spoon to coat the ball with white chocolate.
Place the ball on a baking sheet or cutting board lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are coated with chocolate, sprinkle them with sprinkles (I used Christmas colors!) and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened.

I LOVED these. I did not use butter- I used coconut oil. They were deliciously sweet (with the white chocolate dip) and perfect on a plate with my peppermint bark for Xmas day treats. I made no other substitutions.

I’m so happy the coconut oil worked well for you! Enjoy!! xo

I found it MUCH easier to chill these in the fridge for like 30 min before attempting to roll them. I tried the two spoon method unchilled and it was a huge mess. Lol.

That’s such a good tip! I’ll update the recipe 🙂
Karen Dery says
Simply amazing so, so good. I will definitely make these again
