Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 ounces Chocolate melting wafers (or chocolate candy coating)
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a food processor, add the chocolate chip cookies and pulse until they are finely crumbled. Transfer the crumbs to a medium mixing bowl.
Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Using a spoon or your hands, mix until the cream cheese is fully incorporated, and the mixture has a dough-like consistency.
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making about 12 balls.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the ball back on the parchment-lined sheet.
If desired, sprinkle the coated balls with sprinkles or other decorative toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
Once all the balls are coated and decorated, refrigerate them for another 10 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
