Sugar cookie truffles that are sweet and creamy, made in one bowl with 4 ingredients, taste just like sugar cookies and are full of fiber and protein. The perfect between-meal snack.
These chocolate sugar cookie truffles can be made in one bowl with five simple yet nourishing ingredients. Oat flour and natural nut butter loads these truffles with energy-boosting protein and fiber and are also light on the carbs.

Recipe Tips

Storage
Chocolate coated sugar cookie truffles last two days at room temperature. You can refrigerate them for a week. After that, freeze the dough uncoated but in scooped and rolled balls. When you are ready to coat them, let them thaw an hour so they are not frozen.

I am planning on making this recipe because it just looks SO GOOD! Question though. Are the cashew milk and butter a must, or can they be substituted? Very excited to try this 🙂
Dee Dine says
Hi Cassandra, that's great news. Any nut butter will work, it adds creaminess. And any milk is fine. I choose cashew only because it's flavor is closest to sugar cookie batter. Good luck! Dee
Ela says
PS: I will pin them for later! Thanks. 🙂
Dee Dine says
That's really great, thank you Ela!
Ela says
These cookie truffles look amazing and I love that they contain so many healthy ingredients such as cashews and oats! And yes, I also think that maple syrup is a better choice when it comes to sweeteners, much better than refined sugar, agave or honey. Great recipe, Dee!
Dee Dine says
Thank you Ela! I agree about maple syrup. Thank you for reading, Dee xx
