Cookies and Cream Cheeseball

A few weeks ago, I had a MOP party that I was going to attend. I knew I needed to bring some party food to share with everyone. At first, I thought about bringing brownies, but when I got home from work that evening, I decided I was not in the mood to bake, so I went onto the Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen blog and tried to find another recipe. I ended up finding a recipe for cookies and cream cheese balls.   It sounded like something different and totally yummy.

Once I tasted it, I knew I had made the right choice because it was delicious (my own made-up word). I had some leftovers, so I took them to work, and one of my co-workers even enjoyed it.

My hubby even enjoyed eating this right out of the fridge with a fork.

Stars of the Recipe:

• 8 ounces, weight Package Cream Cheese, Softened
• ½ cups Butter, Softened
• ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
• ¾ cups Confectioner’s Sugar
• 1 cup Oreo Cookies Broken Into Small Chunks
• 1 cup Oreo Cookies Crushed Fine

Directions:

1. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth.
2. Add vanilla and sugars and mix well.
3. Stir in the Oreo cookie chunks.
4. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
5. Then form a ball, and roll the ball in the Oreo cookie crumbs.
6. Place on a waxed paper-lined plate and drape the ball loosely with plastic wrap.
7. Chill for at least 1 hour.
8. Serve on graham cracker stix or mini vanilla wafers. (I used graham crackers because that is what I had in the house.)
