  • 1 roll of store-bought refrigerated sugar cookie dough, including the kind with holiday designs already in the dough
  • 1 box of store-bought chocolate wafers – any brand

Slice sugar cookie dough according to package directions, or use the pre-sliced ones. Place half of the cookies on a cookie sheet. Leave two inches spaces around each cookie, because cookies are going to expand.

On top of each sugar cookie, place a chocolate wafer. Then cover with another sugar cookie.

Bake per package directions. Keep an eye on your cookies so they don’t overcook.

Enjoy watching your guests faces when they discover the chocolate surprise inside each cookie

Oreo Truffles

  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 1 package (8 oz) softened cream cheese
  • 1 package melting chocolate discs
  • Your choice of decorations

Grind/crush the Oreo cookies in a blender. Place crushed cookies in a large bowl, add cream cheese, and mix with a fork until completely blended. At this point, it will be the consistency of cookie dough, with no streaks of cream cheese showing any longer.

Scoop up the truffle mixture using a melon baller or measuring teaspoon and roll into balls between your hands. Making the balls approximately one level teaspoon will give about 5 ½ dozen truffles.

Melt the chocolate over a double boiler according to the package directions. Roll the truffles a few at a time in the melted chocolate with a fork, and use it to remove them and place them on waxed paper or parchment paper to cool and harden. If you are decorating them, sprinkle on your decorations right away, because the candy-type chocolate hardens quickly at room temperature. This is a good job for kids to do while an adult dips the truffles.

When the chocolate coating has hardened, store in the refrigerator and enjoy!
