Game day is about more than just cheering on your favorite team. It’s the perfect excuse to whip up fun, creative snacks that bring everyone together. These adorable Oreo cookie sandwiches, shaped and decorated like footballs, are guaranteed to delight fans of all ages!
Ingredients
- 1 (14.3 oz) package of Oreo cookies, any flavor you enjoy
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or your favorite nut/seed butter)
- 2 tablespoons softened salted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (as needed for spreading consistency)
- 4 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts, melted
Instructions
To start, gather your Oreo cookies and carefully twist each one open. You’ll want to keep as many cookies intact as possible. Set them aside on a tray or a piece of parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar (if using), and the vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is thoroughly blended. If the filling seems too thick, add a splash or two of milk until it’s smooth and spreadable.
Spoon a dollop of your peanut butter mixture onto the inside of one cookie. Smooth it out, then gently press the other half back on top, forming a delicious sandwich. Repeat this step with all your cookies until each has a creamy, peanut-buttery middle.
Now, it’s time to give them their signature football look. Use either a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with the corner snipped off to draw football laces with the melted white chocolate. A thin line down the middle with smaller crosswise lines does the trick. Let the decoration set in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
Feel free to enjoy these little treats right away or store them in an airtight container. They make for a fantastic, game-ready snack that’s wonderfully indulgent.
What’s so great about these cookie sandwiches? They’re a fun, creative spin on classic Oreos, and they’ll appeal to kids and adults alike.
