Chocolate Gingerbread Truffles
There are certain foods that, although perfectly delicious in their own right, become a whole other force to be reckoned with when combined. Peanut butter and jelly. Ketchup and fries. Cookies and cream cheese. When I think December, I think cookies. Well, okay… I think Christmas first, but thoughts of Christmas eventually lead to thoughts of cookies.
This might have something to do with the fact that I always have food on the brain, or it might simply be because cookies seem to be everywhere around this time of the year. In gift boxes. At Christmas parties. Pouring out of my kitchen by the dozen.

Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Use a blender or food processor to process your cookies until they become very fine crumbs. Add in cream cheese and mix until fully combined. The dough should be moist enough to hold together when you press it into a ball.
Using a tablespoon, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place onto parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
