Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 14.3 ounces (36 cookies) golden oreos, crushed into crumbs
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 10 ounces white candy coating
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 ounce white candy coating per color
- Gel icing colors
Instructions
- Transform Golden Oreos into fine, sandy crumbs using a food processor, ensuring no large pieces remain.
- Blend cookie crumbs thoroughly with softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl, kneading until a cohesive dough forms.
- Carefully mold the mixture into egg-like shapes, using approximately 1½ tablespoons per piece, embracing their rustic appearance.
- Refrigerate the egg-shaped treats for 60 minutes at 40°F to solidify their structure and prevent disintegration during coating.
- Gently melt white candy coating at low heat, following package instructions. Delicately submerge each egg using a toothpick, allowing excess coating to drip off, then place on parchment paper.
- Seal toothpick entry points with a small dollop of melted coating to create a smooth surface.
- Prepare colored coatings by melting additional white candy coating and incorporating gel icing colors to achieve desired shades.
- Transfer colored coatings to piping bags, then artfully drizzle or pipe decorative patterns across the white-coated eggs, experimenting with various designs like stripes, dots, or playful zigzags.
- Allow decorated eggs to set completely at room temperature until coating hardens.
Notes
- Ensure cookie crumbs are ultra-fine for smooth, consistent cookie balls that hold together perfectly without crumbling.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to blend seamlessly with cookie crumbs, creating a uniform dough that’s easy to shape.
- Refrigerating the egg shapes helps them maintain structure during coating and prevents falling apart when dipping.
- Experiment with different candy coating colors and design techniques to personalize your Easter egg cookie balls for various celebrations or dietary preferences.
