Method
Crush the Oreos
- Place the Golden Oreo cookies into your food processor or blender. Pulse the cookies until they form very fine crumbs, ensuring no large cookie pieces remain for a smooth texture.
Combine with Cream Cheese
- Add the softened cream cheese to the finely crushed cookie crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula or spoon until the ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive, pliable dough.
Shape into Eggs
- Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of the cookie mixture. Roll it gently between your palms, then lightly press and shape it into small, oval egg forms. Place each shaped Oreo cookie egg onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Oreo Eggs
- Once all your cookie eggs are shaped, place the baking sheet into the refrigerator. Chill them for at least 1 hour to ensure they are firm enough to prevent crumbling when dipped.
Dip in White Candy Coating
- Melt 10 ounces of white candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl (in 30-second intervals, stirring) or over a double boiler. Insert a toothpick into the bottom of a chilled cookie egg and dip the entire egg into the melted coating, ensuring full coverage. Gently shake off any excess.
- Carefully place the dipped egg back onto the parchment paper to dry. Immediately after placing it down, gently twist and pull out the toothpick. Dab a tiny bit of melted coating over the small hole. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Add Colorful Decorations
- Once the white candy coating has fully set, melt 1 ounce of white candy coating per desired color. Add a few drops of gel icing color to each small bowl and stir until you achieve your desired hue. Transfer the colored coating into small piping bags or resealable bags with a corner snipped off.
- Drizzle or pipe decorative patterns, zigzags, or polka dots onto your Easter egg Oreo balls. Allow all decorations to fully set before storing.
