Holiday Dipped Oreo Cookies
There is no cookie more iconic than the Oreo sandwich cookie. So, how do you elevate that into something new? By dipping it into a little melted chocolate or candy coating of course! This easy idea is more of a tutorial and less of an actual recipe but is still something you may need guidance to create.

Can I Dip The Whole Cookie?
If you want to dip the entire cookie instead of just half, you can definitely do that. When dipping the entire cookie, I have found the easiest method is to put the tines of a fork into the cream filling and then dip it and simply slide off the fork. This keeps the mess to a minimum and makes sure the entire cookie is coated nicely.
Can I Dip These in Different Coatings?
I used vanilla candy coating, otherwise called almond bark. If you want to use chocolate bark or even colored candy coating, feel free to do that instead. While dipping into melted chocolate chips might work, it will not be as pretty and may harden faster than you want. There are some trial and error with that, so sticking with bark or coating designed for that purpose is usually best.
What Can I Use to Decorate My Dipped Oreo Cookies?
The best part of this is in the decorating! I like grabbing the kids to help so I don't feel so rushed while dipping the cookies. Lay the different toppings out in bowls beside your parchment paper and then let them pick what they want to sprinkle on top. Below are some great ideas for adding to the top of your dipped Oreo cookies.
- Colored shredded coconut flakes.
- Mini chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or peppermint chips.
- Crushed peppermint candy or candy canes.
- Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Crushed candy like toffee bits, Butterfinger bars, M&M's, or Reese's pieces.
- Sprinkles in multiple colors and styles.
- Candy pearls, candy stars, or candy snowflakes.
- Colored sugar or baking sugars.
- Drizzles of melted chocolate or alternate colors of candy coating.
- Powdered sugar or cocoa powder lightly dusted over the top.
How Long Are These Good?
As long as you keep them in an air tight container, these are usually good for 7-10 days. The biggest concern is that the cookies will get stale after longer periods of time. The candy coating does not have to be refrigerated and usually won't go bad for a very long time, so these can be made a few days in advance, but are best the first 2-3 days when the cookies are freshest.

How to Make Dipped Oreo Cookies
Line a baking sheet or clean surface with parchment paper.
Add your toppings to a few small bowls or plates near the paper for easy access.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the candy coating in 30-second increments until just melted.
Add a teaspoon coconut oil into the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Heat for an additional 15-20 seconds if needed to melt and incorporate.
