Doesn't that sound better than Cake Balls? (hint: the right answer is 'yes')
We tend to have extra cookies and my M.O. is to throw extra chocolate chip or sugar cookies in the freezer and use them as bases for ice cream cakes or in marshmallow treats (yes, that can be your top for the day - add crumbled cookies into your rice krispie treats and you'll never make them any other way).
I digress....
The girl made sprinkle sugar cookies the other week and we had TOO many left over so into the freezer they went. yesterday I had the idea to crumble them up, mix them with homemade icing, ball them, dip them, drizzle them and serve.
Pretty, eh?
So here's the thing (always a thing with inventive cooks). There's no official recipe to follow. This is a gut thing. Here's what I did.
Crumble up cookies into a bowl.
Make favorite buttercream (or use store-bought). Add to the crumbs a couple scoops at a time, mixing with your hands until it's sticky enough to hold together but not nasty. Make into balls.
Melt white chocolate (I used Ghirardelli white chips) with a little shortening to extend it. Dip balls until covered. Place on wax paper-lined trays.
I then used a little food coloring int he remaining chocolate to drizzle over the tops. I let them firm up in the fridge before transferring to serving tray.
(At this point small fingers liked peeling and eating the hardened chocolate drips off the wax paper)
