If you’ve followed me for a while, you already know two things about me: I’m a dedicated snacker, and I have an ongoing love affair with OREO Cookies—especially Double Stuf. Back in college, I kept a pack of OREOs by my bed and snacked on them at all hours (no regrets!).

- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
How to Make OREO Cookie Balls
1. Make the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and crushed OREO Cookies. Stir or mix until fully blended and smooth.
2. Shape the balls:
Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Then roll each ball in powdered sugar until completely coated.
3. Chill:
Place the OREO balls on a wax-paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm.
💡 Pro Tip: For a prettier finish, roll the balls in powdered sugar after chilling or just before serving. Otherwise, the sugar can dissolve into the surface.
Fun Flavor Variations
- Minty Fresh: Use Mint OREO Cookies for a holiday twist.
- Golden Delight: Swap in Golden OREOs for a vanilla spin.
- Chocolate-Coated: Dip chilled balls in melted chocolate instead of rolling in sugar.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
