So, what did I plan on doing with these cotton candy
cookies (other than the obvious – eating them)? I had big plans to make cookie
truffle balls. I admit it – I am completely addicted to sugar. The sweeter the
better. If you are like me, then these special edition snacks will make your
knees weak. On the other hand, if you’re just not in to sugar, you will reel in
disgust over the flavor – and yes, they do taste just like cotton candy.
I made a few different kinds of Oreo balls with these cookies.
The whole cotton candy thing reminded me of a circus or carnival. That made me
think of clowns. As you’ll see, I made a few regular truffles and then I tried
out cotton-coated clowns. While these might not exactly be everyday fare, they
are perfect for a kids’ circus-themed birthday party or as treats for the
school carnival bake sale!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Cotton Candy Special Edition Oreos – If you
don’t have a Target near you (and can’t find them in another store), you can
buy them online too.
·
White chocolate
·
Pink and/or blue sprinkles
·
Cotton candy
·
Candy eyes
·
6 oz. softened cream cheese
Here’s What to Do:
1. Crush
the cookies in a food processor, until they are the consistency of sand.
2. Mix
the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese in a large bowl. Use your hands to get a
thorough mix.
3. Roll
the mix into balls. I like a golf ball size, but you can make them bigger or
smaller.
4. Put
the cookie balls on a wax paper-covered plate and pop them into the freezer for
an hour.
5. Take
the cookies out of the freezer.
6. Heat
up the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. I microwaved mine for 45 seconds,
but yours may take more or less time depending on the strength of your
microwave. Start slowly, and add on more time if it doesn’t melt. Be careful,
the chocolate (and the bowl) will be very hot.
7. Place
a cookie ball in the chocolate. Using a spoon, roll it around. When it’s completely
covered, spoon it out onto a piece of wax paper.
8. Toss
a few sprinkles on top.
9. Another
option: Press cotton candy all of the way around the chocolate, making a fuzzy
coating.
10. And yet another other: Press two candy
eyes onto the cookie ball. Add cotton candy on top to make a floppy clown wig!

I love cotton candy, but I was afraid to buy those oreos for some reason. These turned out so cute, I love the ones with the cotton candy hair.
