  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  • Pulse chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until they are fine crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup crumbs in a small bowl. Add cream cheese to remaining crumbs in the food processor; pulse until well combined.
  • Shape cream cheese mixture into walnut-size balls using dampened hands.
