No-bake Cinnamon Cookie Truffles offer a tasty treat for any event. They mix the warm flavor of cinnamon with golden sandwich cookies and a creamy vanilla outer layer that'll make your mouth water.

What You'll Need

  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese: Works as the glue that holds the smashed cookies together for your truffle centers.
  • 36 golden Oreo cookies (14.3-ounce package): Bring a rich, buttery taste to your sweet treats.
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon: Gives these goodies that signature snickerdoodle warmth and spicy kick.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Boosts the overall flavor and makes everything taste better.
  • 16 ounces vanilla almond bark: Creates that smooth, sweet outside layer on your truffles.
  • Sprinkles (optional): Add some fun color if you want to make them look extra special.

How To Make Them

Step 1:
Get a sheet pan ready with parchment paper and put it to the side.
Step 2:
Break down the golden Oreo cookies into tiny bits using your food processor. You might need to work in smaller amounts if your machine isn't big enough.
Step 3:
Mix your soft cream cheese, cookie bits, cinnamon, and vanilla in a big bowl. Grab your electric mixer and blend everything until it's nice and smooth.
Step 4:
Shape the mix into small 1-inch balls and set them on your lined pan. Let them get firm in the fridge for at least an hour.
Step 5:
When you're ready to coat them, melt your vanilla almond bark. Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each heating until it's completely smooth.
Step 6:
Take each cold truffle and dunk it in the melted bark using a fork or candy tool. Let extra coating drip off before putting them back on your lined pan.
Step 7:
If you want sprinkles, toss them on right away before the coating hardens. Chill your truffles in the fridge for another hour so they can fully set up before you eat them.

Keeping Them Fresh

  • Keep your truffles in the fridge in a sealed container and they'll stay good for up to a week.
  • They taste great cold for a firmer bite, but you can also enjoy them at room temp if that's what you prefer.
  • When giving as presents, put them in a cute box or bag to make your gift extra special.

Quick Tips

  • White chocolate chips work great for coating if you can't find vanilla almond bark.
  • Want more cinnamon flavor? Just bump it up to 3 teaspoons in your mix.
  • Don't skip chilling the balls before dipping or they'll fall apart in the warm coating.

Pro Chef Advice

  • Ina Garten says to pick a top-notch vanilla extract for better overall taste.
  • Martha Stewart thinks a tiny bit of sea salt makes the sweetness just right.
  • Jamie Oliver likes to roll his truffles in cinnamon sugar before the coating goes on for extra flavor.

Why They're So Good

  • Simple to make without any baking needed, even first-timers can nail these.
  • The mix of cinnamon warmth and smooth truffle texture is totally addictive.
  • They're awesome for holiday snacks, get-togethers, or giving to people you care about.

Mix It Up

  • Try adding a bit of nutmeg to bring in more warm spice notes.
  • Swap the vanilla coating for chocolate almond bark if you want something different.
  • Before dipping, roll your balls in crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar for an extra crunchy touch.
