Cookie Truffles

I made these tonight using Girl Scout cookies. Any kind of crunchy cookies will do - soft ones won't work.

I used Lemon-Ups for one batch, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches for the other.

Ingredients:

About 15 crunchy cookies
2 oz cream cheese, softened
3 T butter, softened
1-1/2 cups melting wafers, your choice of flavor
Optional - Sprinkles

In a blender or food processor, pulse the cookies until they have turned into fine crumbs. Put in a bowl and mix in butter and cream cheese until well blended.

Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop or spoon, and roll into balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Freeze for about 20 minutes.

Melt the wafers according to package directions.

Dip truffle balls into the chocolate and place back on the baking sheet. Use sprinkles, if desired, right after dipping each.

Place in refrigerator if needed to firm up chocolate.
