Oreo Cookie Balls Filled with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe
Introduction
These OREO Cookie Balls filled with chocolate chip cookie dough are a decadent treat that combines two beloved desserts into one bite-sized delight. Creamy, chocolatey, and irresistibly rich, they’re perfect for parties or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
- 36 OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 3 cups)
- 4 packages (4 oz. each) BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into pieces and melted
- 1/2 batch of egg-less chocolate chip cookie dough
Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the finely crushed OREO cookies until fully blended.
- Step 2: Flatten a portion of the OREO mixture in your hand, place a small ball of egg-less chocolate chip cookie dough in the center, and carefully form the OREO mixture around it to enclose the dough completely, shaping it into a ball.
- Step 3: Freeze the balls for 10 minutes to firm up before dipping.
- Step 4: Dip each frozen ball into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, then place them in a single layer on a shallow pan lined with waxed paper.
- Step 5: Refrigerate the dipped cookie balls for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate coating is firm.
Tips & Variations
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough evenly and speed up shaping the balls.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed nuts or colored sprinkles on the chocolate before it sets.
- Substitute the egg-less cookie dough with your favorite cookie dough recipe, but ensure it’s safe to eat raw.
- Let the dipped balls sit at room temperature for a few minutes before refrigerating to avoid condensation.
Storage
Store the cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Reheat is not recommended as it can soften the chocolate coating.
