If making the homemade bars (which I suggest!), preheat oven to 350℉. If using store-bought sugar cookies, proceed to Step 5.
In a large bowl, cream together softened 1 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar on medium speed for 20-30 seconds. Mix in 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract. On low speed, mix in 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour.
Press dough into a greased or parchment-lined 9x13 metal pan.
Bake bars at 350℉ for 18-20 minutes until edges and top are slightly browned (we want them to be a bit crunchy).
Allow bars to completely cool, then break apart and crumble (they do not need to be pulverized into crumbs).
Using an electric or stand-mixer, mix together the crushed sugar cookies and 8 oz. cream cheese. Mix until cookies are broken down and everything is incorporated.
Roll into 1 tablespoon sized balls and freeze on a cookie sheet for 30-60 minutes.
Dip in melted white 12 oz. almond bark. See tip in notes; for smoother almond bark add a dollop of butter flavored crisco.
Immediately top with sprinkles.
Store sugar cookie truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (freeze if storing longer). Because they have cream cheese, they need to stay chilled until serving.
