Tips and Tricks
Size Wise:Football fans will cheer for these charming cookie balls with their built-in portion control.
Make it Your Way:You can instead coat all the cookie balls with green sprinkles, increasing the measure of sprinkles to 1/2 cup. Also, you can instead make just 1 football, adjusting the recipe as desired. Cool any remaining unused melted chocolate, then store it in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use as desired.
How to Easily Coat Cookie Balls with Sprinkles and Nonpareils:Place sprinkles and nonpareils on separate plates. Shape the cream cheese mixture into balls, then immediately roll them in the sprinkles or nonpareils until balls are lightly coated on all sides. Do not refrigerate the cookie balls first since the sprinkles and nonpareils will not stick to the cookie balls.
How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls:To easily coat the cookie balls with the melted chocolate, add balls, in batches, to the bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place balls in prepared pan; let stand until chocolate coating is firm.
