Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ball Mixture

  • 7 ounces brick cream cheese, softened
  • 36 Golden Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 1 tablespoon eggnog
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Coating and Decoration

  • 12 ounces white almond bark chocolate, melted
  • 6 tablespoons holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, eggnog, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and finely crushed Golden Oreo cookie crumbs until the mixture is well blended and forms a consistent dough.
  2. Shape the Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 30 uniform 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball on a rimmed baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Freeze the balls for 10 minutes or chill them for up to an hour to firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white almond bark chocolate using a double boiler according to the package instructions or in short intervals in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Coat the Balls: Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted almond bark chocolate, turning carefully to ensure every side is coated evenly. Return the coated balls to the lined baking sheet promptly.
  5. Decorate: While the chocolate is still tacky, sprinkle the tops with holiday sprinkles to add festive color and texture.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the coated cookie balls for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate coating is firm. Keep refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness.
  7. Enjoy and Share: Serve chilled and enjoy these festive treats. Comments and ratings are welcomed to share your experience with this recipe.

Notes

  • Use Golden Oreos for the authentic eggnog flavor balance; chocolate Oreos will change the taste.
  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easy blending and smooth texture.
  • If eggnog is unavailable, you may substitute with a small amount of milk mixed with a pinch of vanilla and nutmeg.
  • The almond bark chocolate can be replaced with white chocolate chips if preferred.
  • Store cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For easy shaping, use a small cookie scoop or wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
