Snowball OREO Cookie Balls: A Festive and Easy Holiday Treat

Looking for a simple yet delicious treat to add to your holiday dessert table? These Snowball OREO Cookie Balls are just what you need! With only three ingredients and minimal prep time, you can create a batch of these delightful, no-bake treats that everyone will love. The combination of cream cheese and OREO cookies creates a rich and creamy filling, while a dusting of powdered sugar adds a festive touch. Let’s get started on this easy recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 brick (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
• 36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

• Begin by covering a large rimmed baking sheet with wax paper. This will make it easy to remove the cookie balls once they’ve chilled. Set the prepared baking sheet aside.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the finely crushed OREO cookies. You can crush the OREOs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Mix the ingredients until well blended, forming a smooth, consistent dough.

3. Shape the Cookie Balls:

• Using your hands, shape the cream cheese and OREO cookie mixture into 1-inch balls. The dough should be pliable and easy to work with. Once shaped, roll each ball in powdered sugar until evenly coated on all sides. This gives the cookie balls their “snowball” appearance. Place the coated balls in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Chill the Cookie Balls:

• Refrigerate the cookie balls for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm. Chilling them helps the cookie balls set and enhances their texture. Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until you’re ready to serve them.

Serving and Storage:

• These Snowball OREO Cookie Balls can be enjoyed straight from the fridge. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings, cookie exchanges, or just as a sweet treat to enjoy with family and friends.
• If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
