Tasty Tuesday!

It's Tuesday and we're still in March, so you know what that means:  another great dessert recipe.  This one is from Mary McKeen and it's hard to say no to these little guys!  We would sure like to know if anyone is getting inspired to bake with all these good recipes coming around!

Oreo Cookie Balls

1 full-size package Oreo cookies (or use your favorite frosting filled cookie, ex. NutterButter)

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 pound powdered sugar

In food processor, grind up cookies till really fine.   In large bowl combine the cookie crumbs with the cream cheese.  You may need to use your hands to knead them together.  When completed well blended, form small balls about the size of a melon ball (I use a mini ice cream scoop).  Put the powdered sugar in a bowl or shallow cake pan.  Roll the balls in the powdered sugar.  Store in covered container in the refrigerator.

Option:  Melt candy-coating chocolate and dip each ball in it to coat instead of using powdered sugar.
