Introduction

These Melted Snowman Cookie Dough Bites are a delightful and festive treat, perfect for winter gatherings or holiday parties. Soft edible cookie dough centers are coated in smooth white chocolate and decorated to look like adorable snowmen. They’re fun to make and sure to impress your guests!

The image shows small snowman-shaped treats arranged on a white marbled texture. Each snowman has two main layers: a white outer coating forming the body and head, which is glossy and smooth, and a small round base of the same white coating spreading out underneath. The faces have two small black bead eyes, an orange bead as a nose, and five small black beads arranged as a smiling mouth. Each snowman wears a top hat made of a dark brown chocolate cylinder sitting on a thin dark chocolate ring decorated with a small white snowflake detail. One snowman is broken in half, showing an inner dense filling with a golden brown color and small bits inside. The toppled top hat rests beside the broken snowman, revealing its thickness and the same white snowflake. The arrangement is neat, and lighting highlights the shiny textures of both white coating and chocolate hats. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups store-bought or homemade edible cookie dough
9 mini Oreos
2 cups (240 g) white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
18 Rolo chocolate candies
18 snowflake sprinkles (optional)
Black and orange pearl sprinkles, for decorating

Instructions

Step 1: Portion the cookie dough into 1-tablespoon scoops on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making 18 pieces. Freeze until very firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2: Separate the mini Oreos and carefully scrape off the frosting; save it for snacking!
Step 3: In a medium heatproof bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 4: Spoon 18 one-inch-diameter rounds of the melted chocolate ganache onto a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet. This will serve as the base for each cookie dough bite. You will have some ganache left over.
Step 5: Dip the smaller end of each Rolo candy into some of the remaining ganache. Attach it to the flat side of a mini Oreo to create a snowman hat. If using, dip a snowflake sprinkle into ganache and place it where the Rolo and Oreo meet to add a decorative touch.
Step 6: Roll each frozen cookie dough scoop into a smooth ball. Using a fork, dip one dough ball into the ganache to coat it completely. Gently press the coated dough ball onto a ganache round on the baking sheet. Before the chocolate sets, decorate by placing two black sugar pearls for eyes, three to four black sugar pearls in a semicircle for the mouth, and one orange sugar pearl for the nose. Finally, place the hat on top of the snowman’s head. Repeat for all dough balls.
Step 7: Allow the chocolate to set fully, about 15 to 20 minutes, before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use your favorite edible cookie dough flavor for different tastes—chocolate chip, peanut butter, or sugar cookie all work well.
For easier dipping, keep the ganache warm but not too hot to avoid melting the cookie dough inside.
If you can’t find mini Oreos, break regular Oreos into smaller pieces, but be gentle to keep them intact.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract to the white chocolate for a festive twist.

Storage

Store these cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving, bring them to room temperature for the best texture and flavor. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a small snowman-shaped dessert sitting on a wooden board with a white marbled texture underneath. The snowman has three layers: the base is a yellow cake with visible chocolate chips inside. The cake is partially covered by a smooth, glossy white icing that drips slightly down the sides. The middle layer is created with round dark chocolate candy pieces forming two eyes and five buttons on the front. An orange candy forms the snowman’s nose. On top, there is a small dark brown hat made of chocolate with a flat base and cylindrical crown, with a white icing band around the base of the hat. The dessert looks soft and moist inside, with a playful, cute appearance. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
