Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookies

I don’t know about you, but it seems like nearly everyone on my Facebook feed is having a baby. One of my close friends who is due in August asked if I could help her pick a baby shower theme. When Reese was born I played around with the idea of doing lambs so I suggested the idea. She loved it so, we decided on a cute gender-neutral lamb theme with these lamb themes Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookies taking center stage. 

If you follow Reese’s blog, you may have noticed we do a lot of Oreo-themed desserts in her baking kits. We love them because they are really easy to make, the ingredients are affordable and everyone loves them. Although we made these for a baby shower, they would be just as cute for a birthday party. Kids get a kick out of making these Oreo lamb treats for Spring and Easter as well. 

Ingredients

• 6 oz White fondant
• Gel food coloring
• ½ cup Cornstarch for rolling
• 12 cookies Oreo Cookies
• 2 cups White candy melts
• 2 tsp Coconut oil
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 24 pieces Candy’s eyes
• 12 Sprinkles circle shaped – they will act as the lamb’s nose)

How to Make Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookies

Step 1:

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Begin by preparing your fondant shapes: add 3-4 drops of black gel food coloring to your fondant and fold and knead until completely colored. On a surface lightly dusted with cornstarch, roll out your fondant to be about ¼ of an inch thick and cut 12 small circles. These will be your lambs’ heads.

Step 2:

Shape smaller pieces of your dark grey fondant into tiny oval shapes. Make 24 of them: these will act as your lamb’s ears.

Step 3:

Microwave your white candy in 30-second intervals until completely melted. With a fork, dip each Oreo into the candy and set it on your lined baking sheet.

Step 4:

Place one circle-shaped fondant in the center of each Oreo cookie. Sprinkle your shredded coconut on each one.

Step 5:

Using a toothpick, apply a bit of white candy melts on the back of each fondant ear. Gently place on each Oreo cookie.

Step 6:

Apply the candy melts on your candy eyes and your sprinkles. Apply on the face of each lamb.

Step 7:

Allow to set for at least 30-45 minutes.

Some Tips

• Make sure your candy melts are at room temperature before melting them.
• When dipping the Oreos into the melted candy, use a gentle touch to avoid breaking the cookies. A fork works well for this.
• If the fondant becomes too soft or sticky while shaping, pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up slightly before continuing.
• Take your time when applying the fondant shapes, coconut, candy eyes, and sprinkles to each cookie. Precision in decorating will give your lamb cookies their adorable charm.
