Ingredients

  • 13 ounce package chocolate chip cookies {like Chips Ahoy}
  • 4 ounces cream cheese {softened}
  • 10 ounce bag dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 12 mini chocolate chip cookies {like Chips Ahoy-cut in half}

Instructions

  • Add a package of Chocolate Chip cookies to the food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.  Pour cookie crumbs into a bowl, add cream cheese and mix together {I used the back of a spoon but you could use your hands} until you can not see any more streaks of cream cheese. 
  • Roll mixture into 24, 1" balls {using a medium cookie scoop} using your hands to be sure they are nice and smooth. Place cookie balls onto a silicone mat {parchment or wax paper} lined cookie sheet.  Freeze for at least 15 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before you remove the inside of the truffles from the freezer, place the dark chocolate melting wafers into a heat safe bowl and microwave until melted. Start with 1 minute, stir and then add 30 second increments.
  • Remove the cookie balls from the freezer and dip into melted dark chocolate wafers.  Garnish with half of a small chocolate chip cookie before the chocolate sets up.  Let truffles set up completely and enjoy!!  Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • If you don't have a food processor then you can put the cookies into a zipper bag and crush, using a rolling pin.
  • Use crispy cookies so that you get a cookie crumb mixture and not a cookie paste {although what could be bad about that}.
  • Mix the cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese until you no longer see streaks of cream cheese.
  • Use a cookie scoop to get even and uniform truffles.
  • Freeze the cookie crumb balls for at least 15 minutes so that they hold together well.
  • Add the 1/2 of a small cookie to the top of the truffle before the chocolate sets up.
