Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 10 Comments

Delicious shortbread cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips, walnuts & salty potato chips make these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies the BEST EVER!

It’s the cookie-baking season! I’m so excited to be jumping on board with 49 other bloggers to bring Taste the USA: Idaho Edition. All 50 of us are bringing you cookies inspired by the state where we live.

Because I live in Idaho, I, of course, had to incorporate what Idaho is known for, the potato into these Buttery Walnut Potato Chip Cookies. Funny enough, I think I heard that Oregon & Washington actually produces more potatoes than Idaho.

While this is, admittedly, pretty far from a traditional version of a salad, raspberry pretzel salad is a Midwestern staple that wows guests every time.

With a salty pretzel crust, a sweet cream cheese filling, and a fruit-filled jello top layer, this raspberry jello salad is more like a pie than it is a salad. But it has fruit, so who needs to question it, right?

Grinch Christmas Cookies

When the holiday season sets in, I love settling down in front of some Christmas movies from the tried-and-true classics and the comedies to the popular animated ones like my favorite, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. That’s the inspiration behind these Grinch Christmas cookies.

So many of the top Christmas tales revolve around the evolution of compassion during the holidays but few are as explicit as Dr. Seuss’ tale in which the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes.

While they can be consumed any time of year, gingersnap cookies are my favorite to make in the fall — and well into the holiday season. The crisp autumnal weather calls for a cookie with a similar snap that brings all of the warmth to the table — this gingersnap recipe does just that.

The impending onset of the holiday season always calls for whipping up a chocolate chip cookie recipe, of course.

If you’re a fan of bourbon, you’re going to love this cake. It’s got a delicious, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet vanilla and bourbon glaze.

We love to serve this cake at all our fall celebrations. I especially love it in place of the pie when we all gather for Thanksgiving.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use a different glaze?

Absolutely! The best part of bundt cakes is their versatility. You can substitute the glaze in this recipe with your favorite flavor, homemade or otherwise.

If you want to swap out the bourbon with an extract flavor of your choosing, that will work too.

Can this be made in a regular cake pan?

This cake can be made in a 13×9 baking pan. Bake for 20-25 then do a toothpick test to check for doneness.

This cake can also be made into cupcakes. Fill each well 3/4 of the way full and bake for 15-20 then do the toothpick test to check for doneness.

Can I leave this cake out at room temperature?

Yes, this cake can be stored at room temperature. Just make sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.

I like to keep the cake in the refrigerator so it will last a bit longer. Then when serving, I microwave it for a few seconds so it is nice and warm.

How many can this serve?

Depending on the size of your slices, this cake will yield approximately 12-16 slices. That being said – in our house, it is “go BIG or go home”. So we usually split the cake between the 5 of us for 2 nights.

Ingredients for Bourbon Cake

Cake

all-purpose flour
baking powder
kosher salt
ground nutmeg
unsalted butter – softened
granulated sugar
large eggs
sour cream
pumpkin spice bourbon

Pumpkin Spice Bourbon Glaze

unsalted butter
light brown sugar – packed
pumpkin spiced bourbon
confectioner’s sugar
pure vanilla extract
chopped pecans

How can I prevent the cake from getting stuck inside the pan?

You should make sure that you grease your pan really well with a flour and grease/cooking-spray mixture to keep the cake from sticking. The ridges in the pan are most susceptible to this and they are the most delicate parts of the cake.

Make sure that you really work your grease into these crevices for the best results. I recommend using Baker’s Release.

What is bakers release?

Bakers release is a combination of oil, flour, and shortening that makes releasing cakes and other baked goods almost effortless.

To make Bakers Release – it is as simple as 1,1 & 1.

equal parts of all-purpose flour, shortening, and cooking oil – I like to do 1 cup of each.

Mix the ingredients together – whisking well. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or refrigerator. When ready to use, dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread it over the cake pan.

How to Store Bourbon Cake

Place this cake in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap. It can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.

Here are some commonly asked questions

What are Mexican Wedding Cookies?

These are sugar-coated butter cookies that are popular in Mexico, as well as the southwestern United States. The cookies usually have a pecan or walnut inside, and are sometimes dipped in chocolate. They are also known as “polvorones” or “tuiles.”

What is the origin of Mexican Wedding Cookies?

There is some debate over the origin of these cookies. Some say they originated in Spain, while others believe they came from Mexico. It is most likely that they were brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers, and then adopted by the locals.

Mexican Wedding Cookies - Easiest Snowball Cookies - Ingredients

Why are they called Mexican Wedding Cookies?

The name “Mexican wedding cookie” is a bit of a misnomer, as these cookies are not traditionally served at weddings in Mexico. In fact, they are more commonly served at Christmas time.

However, the name likely comes from the fact that these cookies are often served at weddings in the southwestern United States.

Ingredients for Mexican Wedding Cookies

all-purpose flour
pecan halves – finely chopped
salted butter, softened
confectioner’s sugar
vanilla extract
confectioner’s sugar – for rolling

How to Make Mexican Wedding Cookies

In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, and finely chopped pecans. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and the 1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar with an electric hand or stand mixer. Beat for 2 minutes; Add vanilla and mix well.
Stir in by hand, the flour and nut mixture. Mix just until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a cookie scoop, roll each scoop into a ball shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Do not over bake.
When cookies are cool enough to handle, around 2 minutes out of the oven, gently roll them in the confectioner’s sugar and place them on a cooling rack to cool. After the cookies have cooled, roll the cookies a second time in the confectioner’s sugar.

Making the cookies ahead of time

Yes, you can make these cookies ahead of time. I recommend that you make the dough up until the chilling point. Then keep the rolled dough in the fridge until you are ready to make them.

Then bake and roll in the sugar. I do not recommend refrigerating the baked and sugar-coated cookies. The sugar does not do well in the cool and damp climate of the refrigerator.

What is the difference between Mexican wedding cookies and polvorones?

Polvorones are a type of Mexican wedding cookie that is made with flour, sugar, butter, and nuts. They are usually round or oval in shape and have a sandy texture.

What is the best way to store leftover cookies?

The easiest way is to place in a large airtight container & store at room temperature. I like a large plastic bowl with a lid or a zip-top bag works great too.

Can you make Mexican wedding cookies without nuts?

Yes – just leave them out. The dough will be more moist, but taste more like a sugar cookie.

Expert Tips

These cookies go by different names and are sometimes also called Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cakes
Using a food processor to crush the pecans is the easiest way to get a uniform crumble.
Using an electric mixer, or the paddle attachment with the bowl of a stand mixer works well for working the dough.

Make sure you are rolling these little snowballs into 1-inch balls.
Try making these buttery cookies using macadamia nuts.
This classic holiday cookie can be enjoyed any time of year.

We like to use a cookie scoop to make the ball shape when making these traditional snowball cookies.
These classic cookies can be frozen if you place them in a freezer-safe container or air-tight container.
Make sure to include this favorite Christmas cookie recipes on your holiday cookie tray.

Replace the vanilla extract with almond extract
These cookies are similar to shortbread cookies with their buttery flavor.
Serve these cookies for the Christmas season and special occasions.

Be sure to cool the cookies on a wire rack after baking.
Confectioners’ sugar is the same as powdered sugar.
This Mexican wedding cookies recipe is a great addition to cookie exchanges.

Make sure you are using room temperature butter and mixing on low speed when making this classic Christmas cookie.
Bake only on room temperature sheet pan, not hot baking pans.
Bake only chilled dough as the dough balls will spread.

Do I have to chill the dough?

Yes – chill the dough before baking. If you want to make our similar recipe for snowball cookies – that one does not require chilling the dough.

The dough needs to be chilled of 20 minutes – unlike some recipes that need to be chilled for several hours or even overnight. Chill the dough in the fridge, wash up the dishes and before you know it, it is ready to be baked.

More Tips & Tricks

If a cookie scoop is not available (#60 scoop), use a tablespoon for the scoop. It’s important for the cookies to be uniform in size for adequate baking uniformly.
Use a food processor or hand-held chopper to finely chop the walnuts.
You can use unsalted butter in place of salted, if desired; add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Try using walnuts instead of pecans.
If the dough seems dry and does not hold together in the shape of a round ball in your hand, simply add water to the dough. Start with 1/2 tablespoon till you can roll the ball without it being crumbly.
Doing more or less of the chopped nuts and flour will affect the texture of the cookie.
Store in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to one week.
Freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Do it before the cookies are coated in the sugar. Thaw in the fridge and then proceed with the baking directions above.

How to Make Fruit Cocktail Cake

Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Then add the eggs and fruit cocktail with the syrup. Stir until completely blended.
Next, fold in the coconut.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
Finally, bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.

Frosting

First, combine the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a 2-quart saucepan.
Second, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
Continue to boil for two minutes.
Then remove the frosting from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Add the pecans and coconut, stirring just until mixed.
Then pour the warm frosting over the cake, spreading it into an even layer.
Finally, allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature before covering the cake and refrigerating overnight.

To serve

Cut the cake into squares and serve topped with whipped topping, additional coconut, chopped pecans, and/or a maraschino cherry, if desired.

How long does it take to make this cake?

This cake is a quick and easy cake to make. It should take you no more than 30 minutes to prepare the ingredients and bake the cake. The hardest part is waiting for the cooling time. But you want to make sure that you do that.

Why do I need to let the cake cool overnight?

Cooling the cake overnight is really important. Not only does it allow the flavors to marry, but it helps to set the frosting before you cut and serve the cake. Because the frosting is made more like a sauce when it is warm, it needs to be set before it can be served.

What to Serve with Fruit Cocktail Cake

Here are a few options for recipes to serve with this classic cake…

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes, you can double this cake recipe. However, you will want to bake the cakes in 9×13 pans side-by-side. Please don’t try to double up the cake batter into one larger pan. This will not only change the baking time but how the cake rises and the final consistency.

cheesecake bars

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars

Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Can these be made with low-fat cream cheese?

This recipe will still work with low-fat cream cheese. But keep in mind that the creamy cheesecake texture comes from the fat. So the final recipe probably won’t have the same consistency if you are substituting ingredients.

Can this be made with a no-bake cheesecake filling?

I have not made this recipe by subbing in a no-bake cheesecake filling. So I can’t say definitively that it would work, but I can’t see why not.

I do have this no-bake pecan pie cheesecake that could be used – but it may or may not be too much filling for this crust recipe. It may just be easier to make that recipe instead of trying to adapt this one.

Ingredients for Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars

Can you freeze these?

Yes, you can freeze Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars. To do so, wrap them tightly in cling wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep in the freezer for up to two months. When you are ready to eat them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.

Ingredients for Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars

Crust

graham crackers
granulated sugar
butter – melted

Cheesecake Filling

cream cheese – room temperature
sour cream – room temperature
dark brown sugar-packed
eggs – room temperature
egg yolks – room temperature
vanilla extract
flour

Pecan Pie Topping

butter
heavy cream
light brown sugar – packed
vanilla extract
light corn syrup
chopped pecans

Can I make this with a cookie crust instead?

Of course. Just combine 1-1/2 cups finely ground cookie crumbs with the other crumb ingredients and toss with a fork until all the crumbs are moist.

Then press firmly into the bottom of the pan. These are great with an Oreo crust and also with a Vanilla Wafer crust.

What to do if you can’t find corn syrup

You can replace the corn syrup with 1/2 cup of sugar dissolved in 2 tbsp of water.

How to Make Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars

Prepare a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper. Spritz the paper with nonstick cooking spray.

Crust:

Place the graham crackers and sugar into a food processor. Pulse until the crackers are finely ground.
Add the melted butter and pulse again until the butter is evenly incorporated.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.

Cheesecake layer:

Beat the cream cheese at medium speed until light and creamy.
Add the sour cream and continue beating until well blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the sugar, eggs, and flour, beating until combined and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Pecan pie layer

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Before removing the cheesecake layer from the refrigerator, make the pecan pie layer by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often.
Stir in the pecans and mix until well-coated.
Spoon the pecan pie layer over the cheesecake layer.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the middle no longer jiggles and the pecans are golden.
Cool for at least one hour at room temperature prior to covering and refrigerating overnight.
Prior to serving, cut into bars using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

About pecan pie

Pecan pie is a dessert that typically contains a filling of corn syrup or molasses, sugar, eggs, butter, and chopped pecans. The pie is usually baked in a pie dish, and the filling may also include vanilla extract.

Why are my bars sticking to the pan?

If your bars are sticking to the pan, it is likely because you did not grease the pan or parchment well enough. Be sure to grease the pan well with butter so that the bars will not stick.

TIPS FOR THE BEST CHEESECAKE BARS

Cool completely before transferring to the refrigerator.
Use a sharp knife and run it under hot water first for the cleanest cuts.
This can easily double – just bake 2 pans side-by-side.
Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Beat the cream cheese by itself for about 60 seconds at high speed before adding any other ingredients for the creamiest texture.
Always start with room-temperature ingredients for the creamiest cheesecake filling.

Can I make the graham cracker crust without a food processor?

Yes, you can make the graham cracker crust without a food processor. To do so, you will need to finely crush the graham crackers by hand. You can also use a rolling pin to crush the crackers.

Once they are finely crushed, mix them with the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

pumpkin pound cake recipe

Here are some commonly asked questions

What Is Pound Cake?

Pound cake is a type of cake that has been around for centuries. The name comes from the fact that the original recipe called for a pound each of flour, sugar, and eggs. Over time, the recipe has evolved to include different flavors and ingredients, but the basic concept remains the same.

Pound cake is a popular choice for many occasions because it is relatively easy to make and can be customized to suit any taste. There are endless possibilities when it comes to flavors and toppings, so everyone can find a pound cake that they will enjoy.

If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, pound cake is a great option. Whether you are looking for a classic recipe or something with a twist, there is sure to be a pound cake that will suit your needs.

Tips for Making the Best Pound Cake

Make sure to prepare before you start baking. This will help you avoid making mistakes.
Let ingredients come to room temperature before beginning. This will help the cake mix more evenly.
Don’t overbeat your mixture. Beating eggs can ruin their texture and flavor.
This pumpkin pound cake is moist and tender due to the pumpkin and melted butter used in the recipe. The results are well worth it!

How to Store

-Room temperature (covered) for up to five days

-Refrigerated for up to one week

-Freeze for up to three months

Quick Vanilla Glaze for Pumpkin Bundt

You will need sifted powdered confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth. Add more milk or icing sugar to make a thicker or thinner glaze. Finally, add a handful of chopped nuts for texture (optional).

Ingredients for pumpkin pound cake

all-purpose flour
salt
baking powder
baking soda
cinnamon
pumpkin spice
ground cloves
ground nutmeg
pumpkin puree
eggs
granulated sugar
brown sugar
butter – melted

What type of bakeware should I use?

I have found that these inexpensive metal loaf pans work perfectly for this recipe. You can also use glass if that is what you have on hand.

What if I don’t have Pumpkin Pie Spice?

I understand that you might not keep pumpkin pie spice on hand – or maybe you used so much last season that you may have run out. No problem – just blend the following ingredients together and you will have your own homemade pumpkin pie spice.

1/3 cup cinnamon
1 tbsp each of ground ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves
2 tsp Allspice

What is the difference between Pumpkin Pie Mix and Pumpkin Puree? Which one is used for this recipe?

Pumpkin Pie Mix is a mixture of pumpkin puree, sweetener and spices combined that is used to make pumpkin pie. Pumpkin Puree is a pureed form of pumpkin and can be used in recipes that call for canned pumpkin. It does not contain any other ingredients, it is just pureed pumpkin.

The recipe calls for pumpkin puree because it does not contain all the additional ingredients in the pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling can also be used in this recipe, however, most people think that it makes the dessert too sweet. I prefer to stick to puree.

How to Make Pumpkin Pound Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, cloves, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer on low combine the pumpkin puree and eggs and whisk until well mixed.
Next, add in the granulated and brown sugars along with the melted butter and continue mixing until well blended.
Gradually add in the flour mixture, stirring after each addition until all of the dry ingredients have been added.
Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out of the center clean.
Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the pan and slicing.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Pumpkin Pound Cake Topping Ideas:

There are many different pumpkin pound cake topping ideas that you can use to make your cake even more delicious. Here are some of the most popular ones:

Whipped cream: Whipped cream is a classic cake topping, and it’s always a hit. You can use regular or low-fat whipped cream, and you can add extra spices if you want.
Chocolate chips: Another classic pumpkin dessert topping is chocolate chips. You can either melt them yourself or buy them pre-packaged in the baking aisle. They add a nice touch of sweetness and richness to the cake, and they’re also great for hiding any cracks or imperfections in the batter.
Cinnamon sugar: Cinnamon sugar is another common addition to pumpkin desserts, and it just adds another layer of flavor to an already amazing dish. Simply mix together equal parts granulated sugar and cinnamon until you have a thick mixture, then spoon it overtop of your cake before serving (or storing).
Frosting: If you don’t feel like making anything else, simply frost your cake with some classic cream cheese frosting (or any other flavor of your choice).

What to Serve with Pumpkin Pound Cake

Here are a few options for recipes to serve with this pumpkin pound cake…

Can Pumpkin Pound Cake be frozen?

Yes, this cake does fine when it is frozen. Be sure to cover it or wrap it tightly in a freezer-safe wrap and thaw completely before serving. Typically I try to keep the loaf whole if I plan to freeze so that the inside doesn’t dry out. But if you wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, and then place it in a zip-top bag, a cut loaf should do fine in the freezer.

Can You Make Pumpkin Pound Cake With Canned Pumpkin? Fresh Pumpkin?

You can make this pumpkin cake with either canned pumpkin or cooked fresh pumpkin. Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling because they are not the same thing.

I stock up on cans of Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin puree at the end of every season, so I can start making glorious pumpkin everything in August and September.

But keep in mind that if you are using fresh pumpkin puree, you want to make sure it has been drained WELL so that it doesn’t add too much liquid to the batter for this pound cake.

Biscoff Cupcakes Recipe

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is Biscoff? What is Speculoos?

Biscoff is a cookie butter spread made from ground, spiced biscuits by the Lotus brand. It is called Speculoos in some European countries.

Biscoff cookies were first created in Belgium in the early 1800s. The cookies were originally made by bakers who used leftover bread dough to make small, hard biscuits that were perfect for dunking in coffee.

The Lotus brand was created in 1932, and the company began selling Biscoff cookies in jars as a way to keep the cookies fresh longer. In 2007, Lotus introduced a cookie butter spread made from Biscoff cookies, and it quickly became a popular pantry staple.

Today, you can find Biscoff cookie butter spread in most major supermarkets as well as online. If you want to make your own Biscoff cupcakes at home, check out this recipe!

What Makes These Biscoff Cupcakes So Good?

The Biscoff cookies used to top the cupcakes add a delicious crunch.
Lotus cookie butter filling is gooey and delicious, making these cupcakes irresistible.
The cupcakes are then decorated with cookie butter frosting, making them even more enjoyable.

How to Store Biscoff Cupcakes

You can store these cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days. And you can even pop them into the fridge if you make them ahead of time then take them out about 2 hours before serving.

What if I can’t find Biscoff Cookies?

Sometimes it can be difficult to find Biscoff cookies in the store. But don’t fret – you can make your own. Check out my recipe for Homemade Biscoff Cookies. You can bake the cookies, then turn them into cookie butter for this recipe. They pair perfectly with morning coffee or just about anything.

Ingredients for Biscoff Cupcakes

Cupcakes

yellow cake mix
water
eggs
vegetable oil
cookie butter

Filling

cookie butter

Ingredients for Biscoff Buttercream Frosting:

unsalted butter – softened
cookie butter
confectioner’s sugar
vanilla extract
heavy cream
salt

I can’t find Biscoff cookie butter, can I use a different kind?

Yes, any speculoos cookie butter will do! Lotus cookie butter is a spread made from Lotus cookies. It is similar to peanut butter but has a unique flavor that is perfect for baking.

How does cookie butter get its flavor?

Belgian brown sugar gives Biscoff a caramel flavor.

How to Make Biscoff Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two muffin tins with cupcake liners. Spray the inside of the liner lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer combine all the ingredients for the cupcake batter, yellow cake mix, water, eggs, oil, and cookie butter.
Fill each liner evenly, just a bit more than half full.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cupcake springs back after pressing it gently in the center.
Let them cool and then core the center of each cupcake using a cupcake corer or small spoon. I suggest not to core too deep, make sure to leave a little bit of cake at the bottom.
Microwave ¼ cup of the cookie butter for 10-15 seconds or until you can stir and pour it easily. Spoon the cookie butter into each of the hollow cupcakes and set them aside.

How to Make Biscoff Buttercream Frosting

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and cookie butter together using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the vanilla and the salt.
Then, mix in the confectioner’s sugar, one cup at a time. As it thickens, slowly add the heavy cream until you reach the desired consistency.
Using a butter knife, spread the buttercream onto each cupcake or pipe it on using a piping bag and Wilton 1M tip.
Drizzle on some of the leftover liquid cookie butter and sprinkle on a bit of crushed biscoff cookies to decorate.

Making These Cookie Butter Cupcakes in Advance

If you want to make these cupcakes ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just be sure to thaw them out before you frost and serve them.

The Biscoff buttercream can be made a couple of days in advance, then stored covered in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to frost the cupcakes, let the buttercream soften at room temperature and use a mixer to re-mix it. You can also add in a splash of milk to soften it up.

Biscoff Cookie Cupcakes

Pro Tips

You can of course use any type of yellow cake mix, just follow the ingredients on the back of the box…each type is different and may call for more eggs, or, water or the use of milk.
If you are planning to pipe the frosting into tall peaks, you may want to double the buttercream recipe.

This is a very decadent cupcake, I like cookie butter but what could I do to cut the sweetness a bit?

You can certainly forgo coring the cupcakes and adding the cookie butter to the center. Or you can change up the cupcake flavor and leave out the cookie butter in the cupcake batter, try using just vanilla or plain chocolate cupcake instead.

Can this recipe be made into a cake?

Yes – you can make this into a cake. Just follow the baking directions for your desired cake size on the back of the box only using the batter alterations you see here.

Bake until the center springs back when gently pressed. Cool completely before removing them from the pans. Then you can decorate with the Biscoff buttercream frosting.

Here are some commonly asked questions

What are the different types of Oreo cookie balls?

There are three different types of Oreo cookie balls – snowmen, Christmas Tree, and easier dipping. Each type of Oreo cookie ball has a different decoration – white chocolate for snowmen, white chocolate and decorating gels for Christmas Trees, and cinnamon candy for easier dipping.

Why are Oreo cookie balls important for your party?

They’re easy to make
They only require three ingredients
These are always a hit with guests
They taste delicious

How can you store Oreo cookie balls?

If you’re looking to keep your Oreo cookie balls fresh, the best way to do so is by storing them in the refrigerator. This will help to keep them from drying out or becoming stale.

You can also freeze them for longer-term storage. Just be sure to use an airtight container so they don’t get freezer burn.

oreo balls recipe

Ingredients for Oreo Balls

Oreo cookies
cream cheese – softened
white candy melts or almond bark

What kind of chocolate is best to use?

We used white chocolate candy melts for this recipe. But you can also use almond bark, Candi Quik, melting wafers, or even high-quality white chocolate. If you use white chocolate chips, you may need to add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil to get it to melt smoothly without seizing up.

Can Oreo Balls be frozen?

Oreo balls can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months. This is a great way to store them if you want to have them on hand for a quick snack or dessert.

You can also freeze them in different shapes and sizes, which can be fun if you are looking for a variety of ways to enjoy them. Oreo balls can also be frozen in different flavors, such as chocolate or peanut butter.

And finally, they can also be frozen in different colors, which can add some visual interest to your Oreo ball experience.

oreo truffles recipe

How to Make Oreo Truffles

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Using a food processor or large resealable bag and a rolling pin, crush the cookies into fine crumbs.
Reserve 1-2 tablespoons of the crushed cookies in a small bowl – this will be for topping the coated truffles. Set aside.
Add the cream cheese to the food processor with the crumbs and pulse several times until well combined.
Using a small cookie dough scoop, separate out into 48 portions and then form each into a ball.
Roll the ball between your hands until it’s smooth.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, longer is fine. You can also pop them in the freezer if you have space.

Adding the Chocolate Coating to Oreo Balls

Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
Start heating it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute on 50% power, and stir the chocolate.
Continue to heat in 30-second intervals – still at 50% power, stirring after each time. Stop when there are a few bits of chocolate left, then stir until completely melted.
Using a fork, dip a chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and tap off the excess.
Place the chocolate-coated truffle on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle with the reserved crushed Oreos.
Let harden for about 10-15 minutes.
Repeat with another layer of melted chocolate if necessary or desired before decorating.
Let harden before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips for No-Fail Oreo Balls:

Set out all your dipping supplies set out before you start.
Make sure the chocolate is melted and stirred until smooth.
Place the ball on a fork and dip it into the chocolate or use a spoon to coat the ball.

Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and create a smooth finish.
Use a toothpick to help push the ball onto the parchment paper.
If there is extra chocolate, draw a line around the base of the ball with the toothpick.

You can use a double boiler instead of the microwave to make the melted chocolate if you like.
Make sure you are using a small cookie scoop to keep the size uniform when making this easy treat.
If you are using something other than a food processor to create the cookie crumbs, you might want to use a stand mixer to then mix in the cream cheese so that it is mixed well throughout the oreo crumbs. Be sure to use the paddle attachment and not the whip. You can also use an electric hand mixer, however, that is a bit messier.

Be sure to check out my affiliate links towards the bottom of this post to see all my favorite products and tools I use to make this great recipe.
One standard 14-ounce package of REGULAR Oreo cookies has 38 cookies in it when I last counted. That is the perfect amount for this recipe. If you are using a different flavor of Oreo cookie, sometimes those specialty or limited edition versions will come with more or less than that in the package. Also – double-stuffed cookies come in a different quantity. Be sure to check my notes in the post for using double-stuffed cookies.

Use room temperature cream cheese – it will make it so much easier to blend it with the cookie crumbs.
These 3-ingredient oreo balls are one of the easiest desserts and perfect for all those oreo lovers out there.

Make them pretty (optional)

If you want to get really festive with your Oreo balls, you can dip them in white chocolate and add red and green sprinkles, or even crushed candy canes. You could also add holiday candies for a Christmassy touch.

*if using double-stuffed Oreos – reduce the cream cheese by half.

How do you melt chocolate in the microwave?

Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Make sure to heat on 50% power so that you don’t scorch the chocolate.
Microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds or so and stir in between each burst for 10-15 seconds.
Melting is still happening after being removed from the microwave, so be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

How many calories are in one Oreo cookie ball?

According to our nutrition calculator in the recipe card, one Oreo cookie ball has 71 calories and 6g net carbohydrates. However, I came up with slightly different results when I entered this into my Carb Manager app. So please do your own calculations if you are watching your macros closely.

oreo cookie balls

Do I really have to chill the insides?

It is imperative that the mixture is chilled for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour & that the finished truffles stay chilled. It is important to keep the cream cheese chilled for food safety.

Can I use another type of Oreo cookie?

Yes -you sure can. These Oreo truffles can be made with any type of Oreo cookie you prefer.

Make-Ahead and Storing

If you want to make Oreo balls ahead of time, the best way to do it is to prepare the filling and then freeze it until you’re ready to use it. This will help keep the balls from drying out.

To store Oreo balls, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

How long will Oreo cookie balls keep?

Oreo cookie balls will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer. Oreo cookie balls should always be stored in a covered container.

What are the best sprinkles for these truffles?

This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in fact sprinkles.

I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labeled as sprinkles.

This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.

Why didn’t my chocolate wafers melt correctly?

When your chocolate wafers become chunky rather than creamy, it is said that the chocolate is seized. This is typically due to overheating or contact with water or steam.

In the first case, the chocolate is just burning from excess heat, but in the second case, there is a negative reaction between the chocolate (which is waxy and has many oils that are hydrophobic, or “water-fearing”) and the water, causing the components of the chocolate to separate.

Be sure to refer to the package directions when melting chocolate to prevent this from happening.

What’s that 3 pronged fork you use to dip your Oreo Cream Cheese Balls?

If you want to make Oreo balls, you’ll need a few things. First, you’ll need a package of Oreos. Next, you’ll need some cream cheese. And finally, you’ll need a Wilton Dipping tool. (affiliate link to it below)

The Wilton Dipping tool is a handy tool that makes it easy to dip candy or cookie truffles into chocolate. It’s part of a three-piece set that also includes a fork and a spoon. With this set, you can easily dip your Oreo balls into melted chocolate without making a mess.

Once your Oreo balls are dipped in chocolate, you can let them cool on a sheet of wax paper. Then, enjoy!

What chocolate is best for dipping?

Chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts are the best type of chocolate to use for dipping. Shortening or coconut oil can be added to make the chocolate chips easier to dip. A small amount of shortening or coconut oil is best when melting the chocolate chips in the microwave.
