Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts (for coating)
- Red and pink sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Crush the Cookies:
In a food processor, pulse the cookies until finely crushed (or place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin). You’ll need about 3 cups of cookie crumbs. - Make the Cookie Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms. - Shape the Cookie Balls:
Roll the cookie mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. - Chill the Cookie Balls:
Refrigerate the cookie balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. - Coat with Chocolate:
While the cookie balls chill, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. - Dip the Cookie Balls:
Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted chocolate, coating them evenly. Use a fork to remove the cookie balls from the chocolate and let the excess drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet. - Decorate the Cookie Balls:
Immediately sprinkle the dipped cookie balls with red and pink sprinkles for a festive touch. - Set the Coating:
Refrigerate the cookie balls for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully set. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chocolate is set, serve the Valentine’s Day cookie balls and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any type of sandwich cookies for the base, but chocolate cookies give these balls a classic flavor.
- For a twist, you can dip the cookie balls in dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- These cookie balls make a great gift or party treat. Package them in a cute box or jar for a personalized touch.
