Oreo Santa Hat Cookies

To kick off our cookie celebration, we’re re-sharing one of our favorite recipes from our friends at OREO. These adorable santa hat treats can be made by anyone (even kids!) since they require just five ingredients and no baking.

What You’ll Need:
4 ounces brick cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup thawed frozen whipped topping
20 OREO Cookies
20 strawberries, caps removed

What to Do:
Mix cream cheese and sugar in small bowl until blended. Gently stir in whipped topping. Spoon into small resealable plastic bag; cut off 1 corner from bottom of bag.

Pipe cream cheese mixture onto cookies. Top with strawberries, bottom-ends up, pressing gently into cream cheese mixture to secure.

Pipe remaining cream cheese mixture onto bottom tips of berries.
