Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Chocolate sandwich cookies Finely crushed
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder Unsweetened
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar Plus extra for coating
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Softened not melted
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts Pecans or walnuts
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional
  • 2 tbsp Milk Add as needed for texture

Equipment

  • 1 Food processor or rolling pin
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Spoon or spatula
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Crush cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin for a smooth texture.
  2. Combine cookie crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and chopped nuts in a large bowl.
  3. Add softened butter and vanilla, mixing until the mixture starts to come together.
  4. Add milk gradually and mix until the dough is thick, moist, and rollable.
  5. Chill the mixture for 20–30 minutes to make shaping easier.
  6. Roll into bite-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  7. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  8. Chill again briefly until firm, then serve or store.

Notes

  • Use finely crushed cookies for the best binding and texture
  • Do not melt the butter, softened butter keeps the mixture creamy, not greasy
  • Adjust milk slowly to avoid a sticky dough.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These balls also freeze well for up to 2 months.
