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.

Tips for Perfect Oreo Snowballs
