Each bite melts in your mouth with that signature snickerdoodle warmth and a luscious frosting-like flavor.

Snickerdoodle Truffles
Y’all… this snickerdoodle truffle recipe is dangerously good. I mean the kind of good where you tell yourself you’ll have one. And then somehow half the batch disappears.
Golden Oreos and cream cheese make the dreamiest base, and the cinnamon gives them that warm snickerdoodle magic.
I’ve made Oreo balls for years, but these? These are next level. They’re like cookie dough, frosting, and holiday joy all rolled into one.
Plus, Oreo truffles are no bake and easy to prep, so you won’t be stuck in the kitchen for hours. If you bring these cinnamon sugar truffles to a party, don’t expect leftovers… just compliments!
INGREDIENT NOTES
- Golden Oreos: These are the secret to that buttery snickerdoodle flavor. Regular Oreos won’t give the same cookie-dough sweetness.
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat, softened cream cheese for the richest flavor and smoothest texture. Cold cream cheese will make the mixture lumpy.
- Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon transforms this into a snickerdoodle masterpiece. Use a high-quality one like Saigon cinnamon for extra warmth.
- White Almond Bark: This melts perfectly smooth for dipping. You can substitute white chocolate chips or melting wafers, but almond bark sets firmer.
- Vanilla Extract: A touch of pure vanilla ties everything together and enhances the cookie flavor.
VARIATIONS
Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Skip sprinkles and dust freshly dipped truffles with a cinnamon-sugar blend for true snickerdoodle vibes.
Brown Sugar Crunch: Sprinkle coarse brown sugar over the tops of no bake Oreo truffles for a caramelized finish.
Chocolate-Dipped Version: Dip half the batch in milk or dark chocolate for a two-tone platter.
Cookie Dough Remix: Stir in a few mini white chocolate chips to mimic cookie dough texture.
Holiday Twist: Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas or gold dust for New Year’s sparkle.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
- Holiday Candy Tray: Pair with chocolate peanut butter crockpot candy and saltine toffee for a festive assortment.
- Gift Giving: Wrap individually in mini candy cups and box them up with a ribbon. They keep beautifully!
- Party Platter: Arrange snickerdoodle truffles on a tiered stand with Christmas fudge for a stunning dessert table.
- Beverage Pairing: Pair with hot cocoa or a cinnamon latte for the ultimate cozy treat.
SNICKERDOODLE TRUFFLE RECIPE FAQ
Absolutely! Make cinnamon sugar truffles with vanilla wafers, shortbread, or Biscoff cookies for a fun twist.
Chilling the rolled truffles before dipping helps them stay firm and gives a professional finish. Also, use utensils for dipping so the coating is smooth all around, without any dents or fingerprints.
Microwave in short bursts, stirring each time. Don’t overheat or it will seize (become hard, dry, and crumbly).
Yes! Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan white chocolate chips instead of almond bark. Oreos are already dairy-free.
I’ve tested more no bake truffles and Oreo balls than I can count, and these are hands-down the most crowd-pleasing version.
The key is balance: just enough cream cheese to bind without turning the mixture greasy, and enough cinnamon to bring that nostalgic snickerdoodle flavor without overpowering the vanilla cookies.
The science behind their magic? The fat in cream cheese emulsifies the crushed cookies, creating a smooth, dough-like texture that mimics a baked cookie crumb.
Dip snickerdoodle truffles in white chocolate, and you’ve got the perfect bite-sized holiday bliss!
