No Bake Cookie Collection

Nothing reminds us more of the holidays than getting a box of homemade cookies from neighbors and friends. There’s just something so special about that! This year I am making a collection of three “No-Bake” varieties that are sure to satisfy all.

1 13-oz package of gingersnap cookies

Toppers are optional but as a suggestion you can use nutmeg for garnish or a red and green sprinkle mix or for your Jewish friends a blue and silver 

What to do: 

Place gingersnaps in the food processor until they are fine crumbs. Place crumbs in a medium bowl, add the cream cheese and mix. Roll cookie mixture into 1 inch balls. Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and stick in the fridge for about 45 minutes.Melt almond bark according to directions on package. Dip each cookie ball in almond bark and place back on lined cookie sheet. Pick your toppers and place in refrigerator.

3-4 cups powdered sugar

2 (1 pound) packages chocolate candy coating

Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. 

Roll out balls and place on a wax paper lined sheet. Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate one at a time. Let the excess chocolate fall back into the bowl before placing them back onto the wax paper, they can harden at room temp but place in refrigerator for storage.
