These Eggnog Oreo Cookie Balls are a festive and indulgent treat perfect for holiday gatherings. Cream cheese, crushed Golden OREO cookies, and seasonal spices are combined with a splash of eggnog, then shaped into bite-sized balls and coated in creamy melted white almond bark. Finished with colorful holiday sprinkles, these no-bake cookie balls offer a delightful blend of creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ball Mixture

  • 7 ounces brick cream cheese, softened
  • 36 Golden OREO Cookies, finely crushed
  • 1 tablespoon eggnog
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Coating and Decoration

  • 12 ounces white almond bark chocolate, melted
  • 6 tablespoons holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, eggnog, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and finely crushed Golden OREO cookies. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended into a uniform dough-like consistency.
  2. Shape the Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into 30 bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on a rimmed baking sheet lined with waxed paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Chill the Balls: Freeze the shaped cookie balls for 10 minutes to firm them up quickly, or alternatively, chill them in the refrigerator for up to one hour until they are firm and handleable for dipping.
  4. Melt the Coating: Melt the white almond bark chocolate either using a double boiler method by gently heating it over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring regularly to ensure a smooth, lump-free coating.
  5. Coat the Cookie Balls: Dip each chilled cookie ball into the melted white almond bark chocolate, turning them to ensure an even, complete coating on all sides. Return the coated balls to the lined baking sheet promptly.
  6. Decorate: While the coating is still tacky (not fully set), sprinkle the holiday sprinkles generously over the tops of the coated cookie balls to add festive color and texture.
  7. Set and Store: Place the baking sheet with the decorated cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate coating is fully firm. Keep the cookie balls refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
  8. Enjoy and Share Feedback: Once chilled and firm, serve these festive cookie balls at your holiday party and if you try the recipe, consider leaving a comment or rating to share your experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular OREO cookies if Golden OREOs are unavailable, though the color and flavor will differ slightly.
  • For a stronger eggnog flavor, you may increase the eggnog quantity by an additional teaspoon, but avoid adding too much liquid to keep the mixture firm enough to shape.
  • Use holiday-themed sprinkles to enhance the festive presentation or omit sprinkles for a simpler look.
  • Store these cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • To make the coating process easier, work quickly with the melted almond bark as it can harden at room temperature.
