3-Ingredient Gingerbread Cookie Truffles

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northwestern chapter.

The gingerbread man is officially out of style. Erase the fearful images of time-consuming homemade dough, cookie cutters, icing and gumdrop buttons from your minds. These gingerbread truffles don’t require an oven or an entire day to make.

Just grab some ginger snap cookies, cream cheese and white chocolate, and you’re half way there. P.S. This recipe is great for stress-relief — you get to smash things and eat cookies
