Ingredients

• 36 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 230 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 340 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 60 grams White chocolate chips (optional, for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

1. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.

Step 2

2. Transfer the crushed cookies to a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.

Step 3

3. Scoop the mixture into small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into smooth, round balls using your hands. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

4. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm them up.

Step 5

5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 6

6. Remove the chilled balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

7. If using white chocolate for decoration, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the coated balls using a spoon or piping bag for a decorative touch.

Step 8

8. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing the balls in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

9. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the 'Golf Balls' on a platter or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
