- 36 Oreo cookies
- 226 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 teaspoons peppermint extract

- 30 grams crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until finely ground.
- Add the softened cream cheese and peppermint extract to the crushed cookies. Pulse until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a smooth dough.
