Strawberry Cookie Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients except the 3 ounce box of gelatin. Cover mixture and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, roll mixture into strawberry shapes.
• Place the 3 ounce box of gelatin in a plate, and roll the shaped strawberries in the gelatin until coated. Place bits of mint leaves to create the stems; secure the stems with a piece of toothpick.

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter and bake as directed. I often use a 9 x 13 cake pan as I find this is easiest.
• Once cake has cooled, scoop it out of the cake pan and into the bowl of an electric mixer.
• Stir together the strawberries and kirsch or jam (if using).
• Add the frosting and the strawberries mixture to the crumbled cake; mix on low to medium speed until a pink dough forms. This can also be done by hand, but may not be mixed as well and will take longer.
• Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Roll into @ 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper laying on a sheet pan. Freeze the balls for at least 1 hour.
• Right before removing cake balls from freezer, melt chocolate (if in the microwave, melt in 30 second increments until melted completely).
• Using a fork, dip balls in chocolate and gently flip it around, just until coated. Lift it out with the fork, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Decorate as desired, refrigerating immediately after for at least a few minutes.
• We like these best chilled, but they can also be kept at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, cookie crumbs and 6 Tbsp. strawberries until blended. Shape into 12 (1-inch) balls, using a level tablespoon for each. Place on a waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Microwave chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 30 seconds more; stir. Continue heating and stirring in 10-second increments until completely melted.
• Dip each ball in chocolate using a fork, letting any excess drip back into the bowl; return to baking sheet. Top immediately with remaining strawberries. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Reserve sprinkles for another use.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese spread, wafer crumbs and 4 drops food coloring until blended.
• Shape into 24 (1-inch) balls; place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan. Freeze 10 min.
• Mix chocolate and remaining food coloring until blended. Dip balls in chocolate; return to prepared pan.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
