Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cookie butter (also known as Biscoff)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Coating & Decoration
- 1/2 pound semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup reindeer sprinkles
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cookie butter and softened unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually incorporate the sifted powdered sugar into the creamy mixture, stirring continuously until a dough-like ball forms that holds its shape.
- Shape the balls: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough into individual balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to avoid sticking.
- Chill the balls: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the balls to harden and firm up for dipping.
- Melt the chocolate: Using a double boiler method, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and silky, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Dip cookie balls in chocolate: Remove the chilled cookie balls from the refrigerator. Using a spoon, dip each ball into the melted chocolate to coat evenly, then return them to the baking sheet.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the coated balls with reindeer sprinkles before the chocolate hardens to ensure they stick well.
- Allow chocolate to set: Let the chocolate-coated balls rest at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is completely set and dry to the touch.
- Serve: Once hardened, serve the cookie butter balls and enjoy this festive, sweet treat!
Notes
- Be sure to sift the powdered sugar to avoid lumps in the dough.
