Creative Holiday Recipe

Snowman Cookies

Picture complements of Kraft. Have not taken a pic of mine yet!   



1 package cream cheese (8oz.)
1 box Pepper ridge Farm Gingerbread Family cookies
2 bars of white chocolate (8 squares per bar)
orange and black decorating icing (not the gel kind)

Allow cream cheese to soften to room temperature. Place box of cookies into food processor until finely ground into "bread crumb" consistency. Mix cookie crumbs and cream cheese thoroughly. Roll into balls a little smaller than golf ball size. Cover and freeze for a half hour. While freezing, melt bars of white chocolate. I usually place them in the microwave and put them in for 30 second increments stirring each time until completely melted. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place melted chocolate into a shallow bowl. Remove balls from freezer and roll completely into the melted chocolate. Place balls onto baking pan lined with wax paper. When chocolate is set, decorate with orange and black icing to create snowmen heads. Keep in fridge until it's time to serve.

I have also stacked 3 balls on top of each other to make a "real" snowman. Stick a tooth pick in the center of the bottom ball and add the other two on top using the toothpick to keep them from falling over. You can add buttons and mini pretzel sticks or toothpicks for arms.
