Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Oreo Cookie Balls
  1. Begin by placing the chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor. Pulse until they reach a fine crumb consistency, resembling sand, about 30 seconds.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with cream cheese. Mix until thoroughly blended and sticky, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Transfer the tray to the fridge and chill for about 1 hour.
  5. Take 30 additional chocolate sandwich cookies and carefully cut them in half to create wings.
  6. Melt the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Remove chilled Oreo Cookie Balls from the fridge, dip each into the melted chocolate, and place on parchment paper.
  8. While the chocolate coating is still soft, insert two cookie halves into the sides of each ball for wings.
  9. Attach mini chocolate chips for eyes and ears on top of each ball.
  10. Store completed Oreo Cookie Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
