Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 2 dozen
Ingredients
  • 1 pkg. (12 oz) Frosted Animal Cookies (I chose the new Jungle Animals kind since they were green/white – perfect for the holidays!)
  • ½ container (8 oz.) Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1 pkg. (12 oz) White Chocolate Melting Chips
  • Christmas Color Sprinkles/Jimmies
  • 2-4 tablespoons of oil/butter (optional, to help thin out chocolate)
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse animal cookies until finely ground.
  2. Depending on the size of your food processor, you might need to do this step in two batches.
  3. Empty crushed cookies into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add frosting to crushed up cookies and mix well. You may need to mix with your hands to fully blend the frosting evenly with the cookies.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out teaspoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  6. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour to harden back up.
  7. Melt white chocolate using a double boiler.
  8. Roll each cookie ball in melted white chocolate and place on a parchment paper.
  9. Immediately sprinkle the cookies while chocolate is still wet.
  10. Let cool completely till chocolate hardens. You can even place them in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to help them harden faster.
  11. Store in a cool, airtight container.
