Make It Happen

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place cookie dough cubes 2” apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2

Once cooled, crumble the cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. Mix cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese in a large bowl until fully combined.

Step 3

Roll into 1-2” balls. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. After the balls have chilled, place them into small paper snow cone cups.

These are the ones we used for this recipe: Paper Portion Cups.

Step 4

For the frosting, beat the butter and vanilla together until smooth. Slowly, add sugar then milk and beat until fluffy. Divide into 3 bowls. Color one bowl red, one blue, and leave the last one white.

Step 5
