Customize Your Cookie Balls

While the classic Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls are a hit on their own, there are plenty of ways to customize this recipe to suit your taste. Consider adding a splash of peppermint extract for a refreshing twist or mixing in some crushed nuts for added crunch. You could even explore different types of chocolate for coating, such as dark or milk chocolate, to create your own variation.

Feel free to experiment with toppings as well! Instead of shredded coconut, try using crushed candy canes for a holiday-themed treat or colorful sprinkles for a fun birthday celebration. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor these cookie balls to any theme or event.

Ingredients

For the Cookie Balls

1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup white chocolate chips

For Coating

1 cup shredded coconut
Extra white chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Crush the Oreos

In a large mixing bowl, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin.

Mix with Cream Cheese

Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Form the Balls

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

Chill the Balls

Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes, until they are firm.

Melt the Chocolate

While the balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

Coat the Balls

Dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated, and then roll them in shredded coconut.

Drizzle with Chocolate

If desired, drizzle additional melted white chocolate over the coated balls for decoration.

Let Set

Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and let them set for about 15 minutes before serving.

Storage Tips

To keep your Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can typically last up to a week, but we doubt they'll last that long once everyone gets a taste! For longer storage, you can freeze the cookie balls. Just ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn, and they can last for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy frozen cookie balls, simply let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This way, you can always have a sweet treat on hand whenever the craving strikes.

Perfect Pairings

Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls pair beautifully with a variety of beverages. A rich cup of coffee or a creamy hot chocolate would complement the sweet flavors perfectly. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside eggnog or a holiday punch during your celebrations.

These treats also make a delightful addition to dessert platters. Combine them with fruit, brownies, or even mini cheesecakes for an impressive array of sweet options that will captivate your guests.
