This a sponsored post and is part of my participation in the Yummly Brand Partners Blogger Program and Oreo. All opinions are my own.
I had my first Oreo Cookieball a few years ago at a cookie exchange my sister hosted. Her neighbor brought them and after tasting them I said out loud “Who made these delicious truffles?” When her friend claimed ownership I was even more delighted when I found out how EASY they are to make.
You know I do like to bake treats through the holidays (12 Weeks of Christmas Treats anyone?) but sometimes you just need a quick and easy go-to recipe for a holiday treats table. Oreo Cookieballs fit the bill nicely. AND they’re easy enough for kids to help with, too. But be careful, these little bites of goodness make it hard to stop at just one or two.
I was asked to take the classic Oreo Cookieballs recipe and give it a little twist. You know I love the taste of gingerbread and gingersnaps so it was only natural that I wanted to incorporate that flavor combination in the cookieballs. It was easy to do and I think they turned out great! They have just a hint of gingersnap flavor and look so festive on the plate. I served them to my extended family and they enjoyed them, too (they also noted that the gingersnap flavor is just a hint—not too strong, but just right).
Here’s how you can make some of your own:

Golden Oreo and Gingersnap Cookieballs
Ingredients
Golden Oreo and Gingersnap Cookieballs #oreocookieballs #ad
Ingredients
1 pkg. (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened
36 Golden OREO Cookies, finely crushed (about 2 ½ cups)
12-18 purchased gingersnap cookies, finely crushed and divided (about 1 cup; reserve about ¼ cup for topping)
1 4 oz.package white chocolate chips (I prefer to use the white chocolate melts that you can find at most craft stores. They just melt better!)
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, add Oreo cookies and blend until fine crumbs are formed. You may need to do this in batches. Repeat with the gingersnap cookies.
Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.
Shape mixture into 48 (1-inch) balls. (I like to use a mini-scoop for this). Freeze 10 min.
In the meantime, melt white chocolate melts according to package directions. Dip balls in melted white chocolate; place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan.
Working quickly before chocolate hardens, it by sprinkle a pinch of crushed gingersnap crumbs on top for a festive look.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
