Here’s how to make these delicious and easy Christmas Oreo cookies:

Ingredients for Oreo Snowman Cookies

Here are the ingredients you need to make the perfect Christmas Oreo cookies:

• Golden Double Stuf Oreos. The buttery vanilla flavor of the golden Oreos is the perfect pairing with the white chocolate coating, and who doesn’t love double stuf cream filling? Yum! You could also use regular Golden Oreos if you can’t find this variety.
• White Melting Chocolate. We used Ghirardelli white melting wafers for our snowman Oreos, but you could use any white candy melts. This type of candy is often found in the wedding aisle at Walmart, but they also sell them at crafts stores like Joann and Michaels. White almond bark is another inexpensive option, and you can find it in the baking aisle at most grocery stores.
• M&Ms. You’ll need a bag of plain M&Ms to make the earmuffs of the snowman Oreo cookies. Or, if you want to get really creative, you could also use Skittles, Sprees candy, or even peppermints!
• Sour Punch Straws. You’ll attach a 2-inch piece of sour punch straw to each snowman Oreo to make the earmuffs. One package of sour straws should make quite a few earmuffs, depending on how many cookies you’re making. And if you’re not a huge fan of sour punch straws, try using Twizzler Pull n’ Peels instead!
• Black Pearl Candy. You’ll be using black sugar pearls to make the eyes and mouths of the snowmen, and you can typically find this candy in the baking or wedding aisles at the grocery store. JOANN and Michaels also carry this type of candy, and it gives you an added excuse to go shopping!
• Orange Tic Tacs. Orange tic tacs make the snowmen’s adorable noses, and you’ll only need a few small boxes for the whole recipe. If you’re looking for alternatives, try using orange sprinkles or Wilton snowman cookie decorations, which include both black sugar pearls and carrot-shaped sprinkles! You could also add a dot of orange frosting for a super simple fix.

How to Make the Cutest Snowman Oreos

Making your own snowman Oreo cookies is easy and fun! Here’s how to do it:

Melt the chocolate.

Before you begin melting the chocolate, cover two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside for later.

Next, use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate wafers on low heat until the mixture has a smooth consistency when you stir it.

Dip the Oreos.

Use a fork to fully submerge each Oreo into the melted chocolate. Make sure each cookie is evenly coated and lift it out, lightly tapping the fork a few times on the edge of the pot to remove any excess chocolate.

Transfer the chocolate-coated Oreo to the lined baking sheet and repeat with a few more cookies, working in small batches.

Tip: You want to work in smaller batches so that the chocolate coating doesn’t set before you can add the decorations. Otherwise, they won’t stick to the cookie!

Decorate the Snowman Oreo Cookies.

Now it’s time to decorate your snowmen! Add two black sugar pearls for the eyes and put an orange Tic Tac in the middle for the nose. Place five more sugar pearls on the snowman Oreo for the mouth.

Next, you’re going to make the earmuffs! Take a 2-inch piece of sour punch straw for the strap and attach it around the top of the Oreo cookie. It’s a good idea to hold the sour straw in place for 10-15 seconds so the chocolate can firm up around it. Then, add one M&M on either side of the earmuff strap.

Repeat this process for the rest of your Christmas Oreo cookies.

Refrigerate the Snowman Oreos.

Chill the snowmen Oreo cookies in your refrigerator for about 10 minutes or until they’re fully set. If you have a deep freezer, you could also put the cookie sheets there to save room in the fridge.

FAQ’s about Making Snowman Oreos

What can I use instead of sugar pearls?

Sugar pearls aren’t always available in everyone’s grocery store, but don’t sweat it if you can’t find any! You can substitute black confetti sprinkles, black cookie icing, or miniature chocolate chips for the sugar pearls, and your snowman Oreos will look just as cute!

What if I don’t have a double boiler?

No double boiler? No problem! You can melt the white chocolate wafers or chips in the microwave using a microwave-safe bowl. Follow the package instructions and work in small batches, as some brands don’t reheat well and might begin to clump together.

What’s the best way to store the Oreo snowman cookies?

Store the Oreo snowman cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. I suggest separating the layers of cookies with parchment paper so they don’t stick together or mess up the cute decorations you worked so hard to add!

How can I cut down on prep time?

If you’re down to the wire and want to skip the chocolate coating process, you can absolutely buy White Fudge Covered Oreos! Just melt a small amount of white chocolate to add to the backs of the decorations so they’ll stick to the cookies.
