Cookies And Cream Bonbons Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour., Cut almond paste into 12 slices (about 1/4 in. thick); cut each into quarters. Shape into balls. Wrap tablespoons of cookie dough around almond paste to cover completely. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely., In a small bowl, mix vanilla icing ingredients until smooth. For chocolate icing, mix confectioners' sugar, cooled chocolate, milk and vanilla until smooth. Dip cookies in icings as desired; allow excess to drip off. Decorate with sprinkles. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in airtight containers.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, pecans, milk and butter. Roll into 1-in. balls. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cover and refrigerate overnight., In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. (If balls are too soft to dip, freezer until firm, 3-5 minutes.)

Steps:

• Separate each chocolate sandwich cookie and scrape off the cream filling so you have 24 individual chocolate cookies.
• Spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place an approximately 20-inch-long piece of plastic wrap over the muffin pan, leaving about 4 inches of excess plastic hanging over the ends of the pan. Press the plastic into each cup of the pan, making sure the cups are completely lined with the plastic wrap.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop ice cream into each muffin cup. Press a cherry into each cup and use a small offset spatula or butter knife to spread the ice cream over the cherry to cover. Place a chocolate cookie on top of each ice cream-filled muffin cup. Freeze until the ice cream hardens, about 3 hours.
• Place a rectangular cooling rack over a baking sheet. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the muffin pan to release the bonbons from the muffin cups. Place the bonbons cookie-side down on the baking sheet lined with the cooling rack. Slowly pour some of the chocolate shell ice cream sauce over about 4 of the bonbons to cover completely. Before the sauce hardens, sprinkle the tops of the bonbons with rainbow sprinkles or chopped peanuts. The sauce will harden in about 30 seconds, so continue to coat 4 bonbons at a time before topping them with the sprinkles or peanuts, until all 24 are coated and topped.
• Transfer the bonbons from the cooling rack to the parchment-lined baking sheet with an offset spatula or butter knife and let stand until set, 3 to 5 minutes. Dip the offset spatula in hot water, then use it to remove the bonbons from the parchment. The hot spatula will help prevent the chocolate shell of the bonbons from cracking when you remove them. Store in a resealable container in the freezer until ready to serve.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Stir in the coconut oil and corn syrup. Let cool for 1 hour. It should be the consistency of pancake batter.

Steps:

• 1. Cream the cream cheese until fluffy. Add crushed Oreos and mix together well. Add splash of vanilla. Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed or parchment paper.
• 2. Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, form balls of the mixture and place on the cookie sheets, 1 inch apart. Refrigerate bon-bons until hardened in texture.
• 3. Melt candy coating, either over double boiler or in microwave, stirring after each 30 seconds of microwaving, until smooth. Using a large spoon, dip the Oreo balls into the chocolate, evenly coating and placing on lined cookie sheet again.
• 4. Allow all Oreo bon-bons to set. Garnish as desired. ( I have done all sorts of different versions: drizzle with white chocolate, sprinkle with cocoa, powdered sugar, or finely chopped nuts.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop 12 cookies; set aside.
• Place remaining 12 cookies in food processor; process until fine crumbs form. Place crumbs on baking sheet lined with waxed paper; set aside.
• Beat cream cheese, dry milk and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed until mixture is smooth. Stir in chopped cookies. Refrigerate 2-3 hours or until firm.
• Shape rounded tablespoonfuls cream cheese mixture into balls. Roll balls in reserved cookie crumbs. Garnish as desired. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Place oreos in the food processor & pulse until roughly chopped.
• Add cream cheese and process until completely combined.
• Line baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Roll into ball and place on foil.
• Place in freezer until firm.
• Melt chocolate according to directions on package.
• Dip balls into chocolate to cover, place back on foil.
• Melt chips according to package.
• Pour melted chips in ziplock bag and cut the top off one corner.
• Drizzle with the melted chocolate chips as desired.
• Let chocolate set and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 15 minutes.
• In large bowl, crumble warm cake; stir in frosting until well blended. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to shape.
• Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Shape into balls. (If mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape.) Freeze 30 minutes.
• Line another cookie sheet with foil. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave 12 oz candy coating uncovered on High 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Remove one-third of the balls from the freezer. Using 2 forks, dip and roll each ball in coating. Place on foil-covered cookie sheet. Decorate as desired. Refrigerate cake balls about 10 minutes or until coating is set. Melt remaining candy coating in 12-oz batches; dip remaining balls. Serve at room temperature. Store in airtight container.
