Peanut Butter Cookie Balls

I haven't prepared any sweets on this blog, yet, but since today (2/22) was my birthday, I wanted to fix something. This is a recipe I've been holding on to, for just a certain day when I didn't want too much, just a little.

1 package of Nutter Butter cookies
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened at room temp
1 package of milk chocolate chips


Crush the package of cookies in a zip loc bag until they are fairly fine. A few real small chunks is ok.

Put the crushed cookies and the cream cheese into your stand mixer and let it mix for a few minutes until it is thoroughly mixed. It will be like cookie dough. (Gee, really?)




Roll the dough into approx. one inch balls and place on a plate. When all of the dough is rolled into balls, take the plate and place in freezer for about 20 minutes to firm them up.

When the time has passed, melt your chocolate chips in a microwaveable glass dish. Add a tiny bit (maybe a teaspoon) of vegetable oil to the chips before placing them in the microwave. Set the microwave for one minute and then stir. Set for another 30 seconds and then stir. If they aren't ready, then set for only 10-15 seconds at a time, being careful not to overcook the chocolate. It will not stir very well if you overcook it. In the event you overcook it, add a little more veg oil and then microwave for just 10-15 seconds and stir.

When your chocolate is ready, roll the balls in it and place on wax paper until the chocolate is set. This makes about 30 cookie balls.
