How to Make OREO Cookie Balls
1. Mix the Ingredients
Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the crushed OREO cookies until fully combined and smooth.
2. Shape the Cookie Balls
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until evenly coated, then place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Chill Until Firm
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Pro Tip: Roll the balls in powdered sugar after chilling or right before serving—this prevents the sugar from absorbing into the cookies.
