These Kitchen Sink Oreo Cookie Balls are a great simple dessert idea. The cookie balls feature toffee and coffee grounds and are paired with pretzels, graham crackers and potato chips. It's the perfect mix of sweet and salty! My family goes through a bag of OREOs like nobodies business.  They are a favorite of my kids, my husband and I have also been known to eat one or 30 of them for a snack. And even my son's pickiest friends will indulge in a cookie snack while over for a play date. So while I like sharing the cookies as they are, I also like to use them in sweet treats (OREO stuffed chocolate chip cookies anyone???). OREO has a classic cookie ball recipe that I decided to put my spin on. So I took inspiration from one of my favorite cookies (the Compost Cookie from Milk Bar) and created these Kitchen Sink OREO Cookie Balls that I serve with salty dippers. Because who doesn't want to eat your dessert with a potato chip.  Oreo Cookie Balls are a fun dessert idea. They start with Oreos, cream cheese and chocolate. But you can customize them in all kinds of ways. Here I rolled the balls a little bit bigger and served them with salty dippers like a dessert cheese ball. The basic cookie ball recipe includes a whole package of OREOs, a block of cream cheese and some baking chocolate. Christina Tossi of Momofuko Milk Bar is ridonkulous. She's super creative and is an absolute genius. So I decided to create my take on her cookie in a cookie ball. Instead of creating a ball that you might eat like a truffle, I decided to make it a little bit larger (I LOVE me some sweets) and serve it with dippers like you might with a cheese ball.Add toffee bits, nuts and espresso powder to your Oreo Cookie Ball dessert recipe. As if cream cheese and crushed OREOs isn't delicious enough, I decided to add in some pecans, instant coffee and toffee bits. Word to your mother.Oreo Cookie Balls are easy to make in your Kitchen Aid mixer. They are a simple, delicious dessert idea! Add everything to your mixer and mix it all up.Oreo Cookie Balls are easy to make and are a fun dessert to make with kids! Roll them up.Oreo Cookie Balls make a great party dessert idea! These have everything but the kitchen sink! Start with your favorite cookie and add toffee and espresso powder then eat them with pretzels and potato chips. Roughly chop some semi sweet baking chocolate. Roll each ball in the chocolate. Try your best to not throw cleanliness to the wind and put your face in the bowl of chocolate. You know you want to. Don't worry, there will be some leftover. I don't see the harm in adding a little bit of milk to the bowl and eating it like cereal…These Kitchen Sink Oreo Cookie Balls are inspired by Milkbar's Compost Cookies! These are delicious! Mmmmmmmmm.  You know how when there is a cheese ball at a party? And there is that one person just going at it, double dipping with their chips and grossing up the joint? You totally don't have that with these kitchen sink OREO cookie balls. These are sized to have each guest take one on their own plate to enjoy. But don't judge them if they take more than one. They are that good. Make this dessert cheese ball recipe for your next party! Start with the Oreo Cookie Balls recipe and add in toffee and other crunchy items then pair with pretzels and potato chips. Now let's talk for a second about how you eat this. I'm a big big fan of sweet and salty. So it really just makes sense to eat these with pretzels, potato chips and graham cracker sticks. Am I right? You guys, the chips are my favorite with this dessert dip. Its good. Real good.Oreo Cookie Balls are a fantastic idea for a simple no bake dessert idea! These would be perfect for just about any type of gathering. It is up to you if you want to leave out the instant coffee if you are going to share these with your kids. They may never sleep again. These will probably be attending any holiday function I get invited to. And they will also be keeping me company on New Year's Eve with a glass of champagne. These are super easy to transport to a holiday potluck. Or to pack in your lunch to take to work. Or even put in your pocket and eat in line at the bank…Oreo Dessert Balls are a great dessert for kids to make! And they're delicious! I had a really great time creating these OREO cookie balls and am pleased to share them with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. You can see what other fabulous bloggers are creating by searching #cookieballs and you can follow OREO on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

*P.S. Imma keep it really real.  I'm not one of those bloggers that works on holiday posts in July.  If I'm being honest, I don't even know where my holiday decorations are in the garage. While these pictures may not look very holiday, trust me that theses OREO cookie balls will fit in with whatever blue and silver, red and green or black and gold decor you may have in your house.

      The cookie ball tastes amazing with the Lays potato chips. For real. And the coffee gives it a yummy, rich flavor.

I didn’t know I was a truck girl. But I’m totally a truck girl. @chevrolet loaned us a 2019 Silverado for the week and my whole family is in love. It takes forever to get anywhere though. Every time we park the boys take a few minutes to exert their dominance over the parking lot (see my stories). The Silverado is going on all of our Christmas lists. 🙌🏻🎄🙏 #Silverado #chevrolet #chevroletsilverado

Need a family activity to do while you wait for the turkey? Interview your family! sponsored ⠀ A few months ago I headed to the @gpneighborhoods to interview my best friend with @storiesfromtheoc and @storycorps. The conversation is archived in the Library of Congress. And now you can record interviews with the Story Corps app from your own home! It's the perfect Thanksgiving activity! You can talk about any topic you want but I love the idea of talking about how family traditions got started.
