How to Make Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. You can also crush them in a sealed bag using a rolling pin.
Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix until fully blended and smooth.
Step 3: Form the Balls
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This helps them hold their shape when dipping.
Step 5: Coat in White Chocolate
Melt the white chocolate according to package instructions. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Step 6: Decorate
Before the coating sets, sprinkle with shredded coconut, white sprinkles, or dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snowball effect.
Step 7: Set and Serve
Allow the cookie balls to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
