What you need

Ingredient notes

Cookies – You can use generic chocolate sandwich cookie, such as a grocery store brand if you wish. Or you can use regular Oreo cookies. Another idea, try any flavor Oreo you would like. Mint Oreos, double stuffed, peanut butter, red velvet, etc.

Almond Bark – Almond bark, white chocolate chips or candy melts both work for this recipe. I actually prefer the almond bark because it melts into the perfect consistency for dipping cookies. Not too thick and not too thin. Whichever you choose, simply melt the candy or chocolate as directed on the package. If you use white chocolate chips, you might need to add a little bit of vegetable oil if it seems too thick after melting it. If you can't find it in the store, you can buy almond bark online.

Peanut Butter Cups – You'll need Reese’s peanut butter cup minis for this recipe. This is going to be to the top of the ornament. The mini’s are the perfect size. If you can't find them, try a Rolo chocolate candy or mini candy cane.

Sprinkles - Choose your favorite holiday sprinkles.

How to make cute oreo christmas cookies

1) Melt almond bark in microwave according to package directions. Dip cookie, flipping to cover completely with candy coating.

2) Use a fork to remove cookie and tap on side of bowl to remove excess candy coating.

3) Place carefully on a piece of parchment paper lined baking sheet. Immediately add Christmas sprinkles.

4) Then attach a peanut butter cup on the side. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Expert Tips

• Dipping Tools - We used a regular fork to dip the cookies, and it worked just fine. But if you plan on making a lot of these, consider investing in an inexpensive set of dipping tools. They’re not expensive, and the long, narrow prongs make dipping cookies MUCH easier than your typical dinner fork.

• Decorating Options - Try using different colored candy melts to dip the cookies in, such as red or green. Decorate with a mini M&M design on top. Substitute tiny candy canes for the mini peanut butter cups.

• Gluten Free Version - Substitute gluten free oreo cookies and the rest of the recipe is the same. Easy switch!

• Hannukkah Version - Use blue and/or white candy melts, then add gold and silver sprinkles for a Hannukkah themed ornament cookie.

Frequently asked questions

How do I store them? You can store the completed cookies (once they are set) in an airtight container, on the counter. These will last for around 7-10 days, when stored properly.

Can I freeze them? No. They do not freeze well because the chocolate turns cloudy after being in the freezer.

What is the best way to melt almond bark? It is best to follow the package instructions for the specific brand you choose. But in general, place the almond bark candy in a bowl and melt in 30-second intervals. Be careful because it can burn easily. You'll know this happened if it gets thick and chalky. Mix between each interval and repeat until it is smooth.

What can I use instead of almond bark? Melted white chocolate is a good substitute. Simply melt according to package instructions. If it seems too thick, add a little bit of vegetable oil.
