Description

Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 2 (10 oz.) bags Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers or white candy melts
Cookies
- 24 Double Stuf Golden Oreos
Decorations
- 168 black sugar pearl sprinkles
- 24 orange tic tacs
- 2 ounces pack sour punch straws, cut in 2-inch pieces
- 48 M&Ms (use the same color for both sides)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside for the cookies to dry on.
- Melt Chocolate: Add the white chocolate wafers to a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Oreos: One at a time, dip each Golden Oreo into the melted white chocolate ensuring an even coat. Lift with a fork, gently tap on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then transfer to the lined baking sheet. Work in small batches for best results.
- Add Snowman Face: Place two black sugar pearl sprinkles as eyes. Position an orange tic tac in the center for the nose. Under the nose, arrange five black sugar pearls in a smile shape to form the mouth.
- Create Earmuffs: Attach a 2-inch piece of sour punch straw horizontally as the earmuff strap. Hold it in place for about 10 seconds so the chocolate firms slightly. Then attach one M&M on each side of the strap to represent the earmuffs, using matching colors on both sides.
- Repeat: Repeat the coating and decorating steps for all remaining Oreos.
- Chill: Place the decorated Oreos in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
Notes
- Store the Oreo Snowman Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and protect decorations.
- To make a smaller batch, melt only the amount of chocolate needed to minimize waste and save the rest for later use.
- If sugar pearls are unavailable for the mouth, use black confetti sprinkles or mini chocolate chips as alternatives.
- Orange sprinkles can substitute for the orange tic tac nose; specialty snowman cookie decoration packs with carrot-shaped sprinkles are also great options.
- Get creative with earmuffs by replacing M&Ms with Skittles, peppermint candies, or Spree candies; the strap can be swapped out for Twizzlers pull-n-peel.
- Instead of candies, use cookie icing in black and orange to draw facial features if preferred.
- Try different Oreo flavors such as Mega Stuf, mint, peanut butter, or peppermint for a creative twist on this recipe.
- For a festive presentation, place snowmen on lollipop sticks, wrap in cellophane, and tie with ribbons for gifting or decoration.
