- 1 package (14 oz) vanilla sandwich cookies (like Golden Oreos)
 
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
 
- 1 tsp orange extract
 
- Zest of 1 orange
 
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers, divided

- In a food processor, pulse the vanilla sandwich cookies into fine crumbs.
 
- Add softened cream cheese, orange extract, and orange zest. Pulse until fully combined and dough-like.
 
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes.
 
- Melt 8 oz of white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add a few drops of orange food coloring if desired.
 
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and return to baking sheet.
 
- Melt remaining 4 oz of white chocolate and drizzle over truffles for decoration.
 
- Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
