About These Oreo Snowman Cookies
Gather up the kids to make a batch of these Oreo Snowman Cookies! They’ll love decorating their own cookie and giving their snowman colorful earmuffs!
This family-friendly activity is the perfect inexpensive edible craft that saves on mess but is big on fun! Simply set out a variety of edible decorations and get to decorating!
Oreo Snowman Cookies Recipe Ingredients
- Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Double Stuf Golden Oreos
- Black Sugar Pearl Sprinkles
- Orange Tic Tacs
- Sour Punch Straws
- M&Ms
If you’re looking for a shortcut, grab a package of white fudge-covered Oreos! This way you can skip the messy dipping but still enjoy the fun of decorating.
To take the shortcut you’ll just need a small portion of melted white chocolate. This will then be used to dab on the backs of the decorations so that they stick to the cookie.
How Can I Make These Snowman Cookies If I’m Not A Fan Of Oreos?
If you’re not a fan of Oreos, you can use a sugar cookie base! You can get a package of pre-made sugar cookie dough to bake or make Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies.
Once the cookies have been baked and cooled, you can add canned frosting or this 5 ingredient American Buttercream Frosting! Then you continue on with the edible decorating in the recipe instructions!
How To Make Easy Oreo Snowman Cookies
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers in the microwave at intervals until smooth.
- Dip the golden Oreos in the melted chocolate and then transfer them to the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Add black sugar pearls for the eyes, an orange tic tac for the nose, and then create the snowman’s smile using black sugar pearls.
- Create the earmuffs by attaching a sour punch straw for the strap and then attaching one M&M on each side of the strap.
- Repeat the dipping and decorating process for all of the Oreos. Then chill the snowmen on the baking sheet in the fridge until they become fully set.
Fun & Delicious Variations To Try!
- Mouth! If you can’t find sugar pearls for the mouth, try using black confetti sprinkles! Mini chocolate chips could also be used on these Oreo Snowman Cookies.
- Nose! Orange sprinkles could be used in place of the orange tic tacs for the nose. Wilton also carries snowman cookie decorations! The pack has black sugar pearls and little carrot-shaped sprinkles for the nose.
- Earmuffs! You can get really creative with the earmuffs! M&Ms can be replaced with skittles, peppermint candies, or sprees candy. And the earmuff strap can be replaced with Twizzlers pull n peel! Feel free to get creative with your idea using your favorite candy!
- Cookie Icing! Instead of using sprinkles and tic tacs to make the snowman’s face, you can use cookie icing. Grab orange and black to draw the face on!
- Cookie Variations! Though these cookies are made with Double Stuf Oreos you can make them with other Oreos! Mega stuf, mint, peanut butter, and even peppermint would all be fun flavors for snowmen cookies!
- Add A Stick! Place the snowmen on a lollipop stick! Then wrap it in cellophane and tie it off with colored twine or a holiday ribbon. Gift them away or watch your kid’s excitement with the added detail to these Oreo Snowman Cookies!
How To Store These Oreo Snowman Cookies
Store these snowman cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. I’d recommend separating the layers of cookies in the container with parchment paper.
That way the cookies don’t stick together or mess up the snowmen’s edible decorations!

Steps
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
add the white chocolate wafers to a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one until smooth.
Coat the golden Oreos one at a time with the melted chocolate and make sure it is evenly coated. Lift it out with a fork and lightly tap it on the edge of the bowl a few times to remove the excess chocolate. Transfer it to the lined baking sheet then repeat with a couple more Oreos, it's best to work in small batches.
Add two black sugar pearls for the eyes, then place an orange tic tac in the center for the nose. Create the mouth by placing 5 sugar pearls under the tic tac in a smile shape.
For the earmuffs, attach a 2-inch piece of sour punch straw for the strap. You may need to hold it in place for 10 seconds so the melts can firm up a bit. Then attach one M&M on each side of the strap. Use the same colored M&M's for both sides.
Repeat the steps with the rest of the Oreos. Then chill the Oreo snowmen on the baking sheets in the fridge for 10 minutes or until fully set.
