Recipe Tips

How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls
To easily coat cookie balls with the melted chocolate, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; let stand until chocolate coating is firm.
Note
If any melted chocolate remains after all balls are coated, store in tightly covered container at room temperature until ready to use for another use.
Variations
Try our other Holiday OREO Cookie Balls. Substitute semi-sweet baking chocolate or milk chocolate for the white chocolate. Or, tint white chocolate with red food coloring before using to coat cookie balls. Drizzle with additional melted chocolate or icing as shown in photo.
