Christmas Oreo Cookie Truffles - crushed Oreo cookies, cream cheese and chocolate chips combine into a fun holiday treat! You only need 3 ingredients, well four if you count the fun sprinkles used to decorate. Let me show you another family-favorite Christmas Cookie recipe you can make for the holiday season.
These Oreo Cookie Truffles are another delicious 3 Ingredient Christmas Cookie that really can be made all year long. Just change the colored sprinkles for the season or holiday you're celebrating.
Or you could use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and make Heart Shaped Oreo Truffles for Valentine's Day or bridal showers.
You can even reserve a little of the cookie crumbs to sprinkle on top of the truffles after they have been dipped in the melted chocolate. Or use chocolate flavored sprinkles. Even finely crushed nuts or finely shredded coconut works!
When my children were younger, we baked a lot of Christmas cookies together. Especially my daughter, Olivia. Her favorite cookies to help me bake are Peanut Butter Blossoms. She loved rolling the dough into balls.
Reindeer Truffles
Another fun way to use this recipe is to make Reindeer Oreo Truffles. Both recipes are very easy to put together.
You can let the kids help you...they'll love crushing the cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. If they're really little, you can give them a measuring cup that's more easier for little hands to handle.
