Cookies and Cream Cheeseball

A few weeks ago, I had a MOP’s party that I was going to attend.  I knew I needed to bring some sort of 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 try to find another recipe.  I ended up finding a recipe for cookies and cream cheeseball.   It sounded like something different and totally yummy.

Once I tasted it, I knew I had made the right choice because it was deliciouso (my own made up word).  I had some left-over so I took it 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. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add vanilla, sugars and mix well.
3. Stir in the Oreo cookie chunks.
4. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
5. Then form a ball, 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 the house.)
