Girl Scout Lemonades Cookie Truffles Recipe — Zesty No-Bake Treats

This recipe shows how to transform Girl Scout Lemonades cookies into light, refreshing cookie truffles that are easy to make and perfect for using up leftover boxes of cookies.

Each year many families find themselves asking what to do with extra Girl Scout cookies. One simple and delicious solution is to turn them into truffles. These Lemonades Cookie Truffles require just a few ingredients and make a lovely, citrusy treat.

The ingredients are straightforward: cream cheese, white melting chocolate, and a box of Girl Scout Lemonades cookies. If Lemonades aren’t available, lemon-flavored sandwich cookies such as lemon Oreos can be used instead.

Start by placing 6 ounces of cream cheese and the entire box of cookies into a food processor. Pulse until the cookies and cream cheese are thoroughly combined and a uniform mixture forms.

Test the texture by rolling a small piece between your fingers. If the mixture holds together, no more cream cheese is needed. If it crumbles, add the remaining 2 ounces of cream cheese and pulse again until the dough binds and forms a thick, cohesive mixture.

Once fully combined, the dough will be dense and easy to shape.

Use a 1 1/4-inch scoop to portion the dough, then roll each portion between your palms into a smooth ball. Place the formed balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.

While the truffle centers chill, melt the white melting chocolate gently. You can use a double boiler or microwave on a low power or melt setting to avoid seizing. A tall, narrow container—such as a one-cup glass measuring cup—works well for dipping because it creates a deep pool of chocolate that helps coat the truffles evenly.

When the centers are chilled and the chocolate is melted, dip each ball into the chocolate to coat completely. Use a fork to lift the truffle from the chocolate and tap the fork gently against the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.

Place each coated truffle back onto the lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or some crushed Lemonades cookies for garnish. Although lemon zest can be pretty, it dries and withers after refrigeration, so stick with crushed cookies or graham crackers for the best-looking and longest-lasting garnish.

Allow the chocolate to set completely, then store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
