Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls: The No-Bake Wonder You Didn’t Know You Needed
Okay, so have you ever just craved something sweet but, like, can’t deal with turning on the oven? Ugh, same! That’s where these Snowball Oreo Cookie Balls come in, and let me tell ya, they are LIFE-CHANGING. Seriously, it’s like biting into a cloud of Oreo goodness.
Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients
Alright, so here’s the scoop. You’re gonna need:
– 1 brick of cream cheese (like, an 8 oz. one, and it has to be softened, otherwise you’ll be wrestling with it, trust me)
– 36 OREO Cookies (just the original ones are perfect, don’t get fancy)
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar (you can eyeball it, but I promise it’s better with the full half cup)
Just grab these at your store, and if you see any cute little holiday packaging, pick it up! Because why not add some cheer to your chaos, am I right?
So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly
Okay, so here’s the real tea: I make these things for every gathering because they’re a total crowd-pleaser! One time, I brought them to a friend’s holiday party, and my friend’s grandma was like, “These are the BEST. What’s your secret?” I just smiled and said, “It’s just Oreos and cream cheese…” Meanwhile, I’m internally screaming because it took me, like, 20 minutes to whip ‘em up. It’s like having a secret weapon in my back pocket for when I need to impress. Plus, they’re super easy and no-bake, which means I can whip them up while wearing my PJs and not feel guilty about life choices. 😂
The One Trick That Changes Everything
Okay, listen up! Here’s the trick: make sure your cream cheese is SOFTENED! Seriously, if it’s cold, you’ll end up with little chunks of cream cheese in your mixture, and nobody wants that. Just leave it out for, like, 30 minutes before you start. It makes everything so much smoother and creamier. You want to be able to mix it easily with the crushed Oreos like it’s a dance party in your bowl!
Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
1. Crush those Oreos well! I mean, you want fine crumbs, not chunks. I usually pop ’em in a ziplock bag and smash ’em with a rolling pin—it’s oddly therapeutic.
2. Don’t skip the chilling! Once you shape those cute little balls, let them chill in the fridge for at least an hour. I’ve tried to rush this before, and trust me, it’s not worth it. They need time to firm up.
3. Coat ‘em good! When you roll them in powdered sugar, make sure you get every little side. Nobody wants a half-dressed cookie ball, right?
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
So, here’s the deal: you wanna keep these chilled in the fridge. They’re best served cold! Just throw ‘em in an airtight container, and they’ll last for about a week (if they last that long, LOL). I usually keep mine hidden in the back of the fridge behind the veggies… you know, just in case someone gets curious.
