No-Bake Cookie Truffles Your Kids Will Love To Make

I am always encouraging parents to get in the kitchen with their kids. Well, this time I am encouraging you parents to let your kids take over the kitchen to make an easy, no-bake, delicious Israeli-inspired treat.

All you will need is a few bowls, a wooden spoon, and maybe a little supervision. Let your kids do the work—you sit back and enjoy the treats with a nice cup of coffee.

These treats can be made dairy-free (use margarine and almond milk), nut-free, and even vegan. They are little bites of sweet, crunchy, chocolate-y heaven.

Note: Biscoff cookies can also be called European lotus cookies. You can find them at most major supermarkets and even Trader Joe’s carries their own brand of them.

Can we ask?

It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)

INGREDIENTS

22 Biscoff cookies

1 tsp vanilla

3 Tbsp softened unsalted butter

½ tsp cinnamon

Shredded coconut

Chopped peanuts, almonds, pistachios or other nuts.

DIRECTIONS

Place Biscoff cookies in a plastic bag and crush until you have small crumbs. (You can also use a food processor, but kids generally like banging stuff.)

Dump cookie crumbs into a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients.

Roll into 1 inch balls and place onto a parchment lined platter.

Roll each ball in sprinkles, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
