Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
- 36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
- Prepare the baking sheet: Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese and the finely crushed Oreo cookies until fully blended into a uniform mixture.
- Form cookie balls: Shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands or a scoop for consistent size.
- Coat with powdered sugar: Roll each ball individually in powdered sugar until evenly coated on all sides, enhancing sweetness and creating a snowball-like appearance.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated balls in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to keep them from sticking together.
- Chill until firm: Refrigerate the cookie balls for at least 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain their shape and texture.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Finely crush the Oreos for best consistency; use a food processor or place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Chilling time can be extended to overnight for even firmer cookie balls.
- Store leftover cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a festive touch, consider rolling some balls in colored sugar or finely chopped nuts instead of powdered sugar.
