Instructions

Crush the Oreo Cookies

In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.

Mix with Cream Cheese

In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.

Form the Balls

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Balls

Refrigerate the cookie balls for 30 minutes to firm up.

Coat with White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each cookie ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.

Add Coconut Topping

Immediately roll the chocolate-coated balls in toasted shredded coconut. Return to the baking sheet.

Let Set

Variations to Try

While the classic Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls are undeniably delicious, don’t hesitate to get creative! You can experiment with different types of cookies, such as mint Oreos for a refreshing twist or peanut butter Oreos for a nutty flavor. Each variation will yield a unique taste that can surprise and delight your family and friends.

For an extra touch, consider adding flavor extracts to the cream cheese mixture, like vanilla or almond, to enhance the overall flavor profile. You could also sprinkle in some mini chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and crunch. The possibilities are endless!

Perfect for Gift Giving

If you’re looking for a heartfelt gift, these Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls make an excellent choice.

Consider creating a beautiful gift box filled with assorted cookie balls for a personalized touch during the holiday season or special occasions.

You can also customize the toppings to match the recipient’s preferences. For example, using crushed nuts instead of coconut for a nut lover or drizzling caramel on top for an added layer of sweetness. Not only are they delicious, but they also show you care.

Nutritional Information
