Quick Prep Notes
Is the mold plastic or silicone? The snowflake mold used for this recipe is plastic, not silicone. It releases beautifully, just make sure the cookies are fully set before unmolding.
Can I use regular food coloring? No. Only oil-based coloring works with chocolate. Water-based colors can cause the melts to seize and thicken.
How long do they need to chill? Chill for at least 30 minutes so the chocolate is completely firm before removing from the mold.
Sparkly Snowflake Mini Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 mini snowflake cookie mold (Spinning Leaf Mini Snowflake Mold)
- Ghirardelli white melting wafers
- Blue oil-based food coloring
- Mini Oreos, as needed for the number of cookies you want
- Silver or white edible glitter spray
- Blue edible glitter or luster dust, optional
Instructions
- Set the mold on a flat, sturdy surface.
- Melt the white chocolate according to package directions until fully smooth.
- Stir in blue oil-based food coloring until you reach your desired icy shade.
- Spoon chocolate into each mold cavity, filling about one-third of the way.
- Press a mini Oreo into the center of each cavity, then cover with additional chocolate until filled to the top.
- Gently tap the mold on the counter to release air bubbles. If any Oreo floats upward, lightly press it back into place with the tip of a knife.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the mold and allow them to come to room temperature so the glitter adheres smoothly.
- Finish by misting with silver edible glitter spray and dusting with blue glitter if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
FAQ
Can I swap the mini Oreos for another filling?
Yes. Mini sandwich cookies, chocolate wafers, crushed peppermint, or small candy pieces all work well.
Do these need to be refrigerated for storage?
No. Once fully set, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days away from direct heat.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. They’re perfect for prepping 2–3 days in advance since the chocolate holds its texture and shine.
How do I keep the glitter from rubbing off?
Let the cookies reach room temperature first, then spray lightly. Once dry, avoid stacking to protect the shimmer.
Can I change the color theme?
Totally. Swap the blue for any oil-based color and match your glitter to fit parties, holidays, or team themes.
Sprinkle of Fun
Make these after a day at the ice rink, then cozy up at home with Ice Princess, mugs of hot cocoa, and a plate of sparkly snowflake cookies to keep the winter magic going long after the skates come off.
