Storage and Serving Suggestions

After creating your Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls, proper storage is key to maintaining their freshness. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they can last for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Just remember to allow them to thaw in the fridge before serving to keep the texture at its best.

These cookie balls are perfect as a standalone dessert or can be paired with a hot beverage like coffee or hot chocolate.

Ingredients

For the Cookie Balls

1 package of Oreo cookies (15.35 oz)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup white chocolate chips
Powdered sugar for rolling

Gather all the ingredients before you start to make the process smoother.

Instructions

Crush the Oreos

In a large bowl, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Mix with Cream Cheese

Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Form the Balls

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

Chill the Balls

Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt the White Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.

Coat the Balls

Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in powdered sugar until fully coated.

Set and Serve

Place the coated cookie balls back on the baking sheet and let them set until the chocolate hardens. Serve and enjoy!

These cookie balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips for Success

To ensure your Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls turn out perfectly, make sure to use softened cream cheese. This will help create a smooth mixture that binds the cookie crumbs together effectively. If your cream cheese is too cold, it can be difficult to mix, resulting in a lumpy texture.

For the rolling step, wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking to your palms. This little trick makes it easier to roll them into uniform balls and keeps your hands cleaner during the process.

Variations to Try

If you're feeling adventurous, consider adding flavor extracts to the cream cheese mixture. A splash of vanilla or almond extract can enhance the overall flavor profile of your cookie balls. You might also try mixing in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and taste.

For a seasonal twist, try rolling your Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls in crushed peppermint candies during the holidays or using colored sprinkles for birthdays. These small adjustments can take your treats from ordinary to extraordinary, making them even more special.

Pairing Ideas

Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. For a classic combination, serve them alongside milk or a rich hot chocolate. The creaminess of the cookie balls complements the smoothness of these drinks perfectly, making for a delightful treat experience.

If you're hosting a gathering, consider creating a dessert platter with an assortment of treats, including these cookie balls. Include fresh fruit, brownies, and cookies to cater to different tastes. This variety will elevate your dessert table and ensure there is something for everyone.
