Ingredients
Scale
- 1 brick (8 oz/226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed
- ½ cup (120 mL/4 fl oz) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preparation: Cover a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper, creating a clean surface for assembling the cookie balls.
- Cookie Crumb Formation: Crush OREO cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin, ensuring no large fragments remain.
- Mixture Blending: Incorporate softened cream cheese with cookie crumbs in a mixing bowl, kneading until a uniform, malleable dough develops with no visible streaks.
- Shaping and Coating: Carefully craft compact, bite-sized spheres approximately one inch in diameter, then generously roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring a complete, delicate white coating that mimics a soft winter snowball.
- Chilling and Setting: Arrange the sugar-coated cookie balls in a single layer on the prepared tray, then refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up the texture and intensify the flavor profile.
- Storage and Serving: Maintain the cookie balls in the refrigerator until ready to serve, preserving their delightful consistency and preventing premature softening.
Notes
- Crush Cookies Completely: Ensure OREO cookies are ground into ultra-fine, uniform crumbs for a smooth, consistent texture that helps bind ingredients perfectly.
- Soften Cream Cheese Properly: Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before mixing to guarantee effortless blending and prevent lumpy consistency.
- Shape with Precision: Use gentle, consistent pressure when forming balls to create uniform 1-inch spheres that hold together without cracking or falling apart.
- Chill for Best Results: Refrigerate cookie balls for at least one hour to firm up texture, making them easier to handle and enhancing their delightful melt-in-your-mouth quality.
