Unlike many gingerbread truffles, these ones don’t include cream cheese. Instead this recipe uses cookie butter as the adhesive which really brings the flavor to a whole new level!

Gingerbread Truffle Ingredients 

To make the filling gather up your ground spices such as cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. Then reach for the salt, powdered sugar, cookie butter or Biscoff spread, and your gingersnap cookies. 

RECIPE NOTE: The cinnamon and ginger can be increased for an even spicier truffle, but I would not use more than 1 teaspoon of each. My mom preferred them spicer and I preferred them with the measurements called for in the recipe card below.

The chocolate shell is made up of melted white chocolate chips paired with coconut oil. If using melting wafers or almond bark instead of the chocolate chips omit the coconut oil. 

Make them festive by picking up some holiday sprinkles to sprinkle on top of them as the chocolate coating dries!

How To Make Gingerbread Balls

Prepare your large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set it aside. Grab the gingerbread cookies and add them to your food processor and process until they turn to fine crumbs.

Then add in the spices, powdered sugar, and cookie butter to the food processor and mix together.

Once the gingerbread mixture is thoroughly combined, roll into balls using a medium cookie scoop to help portion them out. 

Next, place the rolled balls onto your lined baking sheet to be chilled in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

When ready, melt together the white chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth, and begin dipping each ball in the melted chocolate. Place the dipped gingerbread balls back onto the baking sheet, sprinkling with sprinkles if desired, then allow chocolate to harden.

Dress these truffles up to share with others by placing them individually in decorative baking cups inside small treat boxes. Tie them off to finish them up by using your favorite holiday ribbon!

Gingerbread Balls are everything you love about the classic holiday cookie in truffle form! The filling is made with spicy gingersnaps, creamy cookie butter, sugar, and spices and then dipped in decadent white chocolate! 

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1½ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs about 29 cookies
• ▢ 1½ cups cookie butter or biscoff spread
• ▢ 1 cup powdered sugar
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 2 cups white chocolate chips
• ▢ 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the gingersnap cookies to a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms.
• Add the cookie butter, powdered sugar, and spices to the food processor and pulse until fully combined.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls with your hands and place on the prepared cookie sheet and chill for 1 hour.
• Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl and microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each on until smooth.
• Dip the balls in the white chocolate to coat and transfer back to the baking sheet to set. Sprinkle with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens, if desired.

Notes

• These can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
