Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 F. Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the cinnamon, baking soda and salt (see Cook's Note).
• Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and yogurt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well incorporated. Turn off the beaters and use your hands to help combine if needed. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Set aside 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar mixture from packet. Make drop cookies as directed on pouch. Cool completely, at least 15 minutes.
• In food processor, process half of the cookies to fine crumbs. Remove and set aside; continue to process remaining cookies to fine crumbs. Mix all of cookie crumb mixture in food processor. Add cream cheese. Process until well combined and mixture can be pressed into a ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Shape cookie mixture into 42 (1 1/4-inch) balls; place on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• In medium bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds or until it can be stirred smooth.
• Remove half of the cookie balls from refrigerator. Using 2 forks, dip and roll chilled cookie balls, one at a time, in coating. Return to lined cookie sheet; immediately sprinkle top with reserved cinnamon sugar. If coating has cooled too much, reheat. Repeat with second half of cookie balls. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• In food processor or blender, place cereal. Cover; process until cereal is finely crushed. Remove 1/2 cup of the finely crushed cereal; set aside. Add cream cheese and 2 tablespoons sugar to remaining cereal in food processor. Cover; process until combined. Drop mixture by measuring teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet; shape into balls. Refrigerate or freeze while making cookie dough.
• In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar and the butter with electric mixer on medium speed, or spoon. Add egg; mix well. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; set aside.

Place 1 of the refrigerated truffles in center of dough, and wrap dough around truffle, covering completely. Roll dough in topping mixture; place 2 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls slightly.
