I melted the white chocolate candy coating according to package instructions & began taking them for a dip! And these little runts are just too cute!!Īfter all 83 ((or so - but who’s counting?)) balls are formed, I refrigerated them for 15 minutes to ensure they held their shape. Sure, it made the process a bit longer than if I had used a tablespoon, but I ABSOLUTELY love this size!! They are a perfect two-bite treat. I decided to make these treats teenie by using a teaspoon measuring spoon. I am here to tell you – this cookie ((ball)) doesn’t crumble. More important than the prefect shape – the ball needs to keep its shape while being dipped. I tested out ratios of these three ingredients and landed on just the right texture! By using the entire package of cookies, 1/3 cup of cookie butter and the entire 8 ounce package of cream cheese, the most perfect ball can be formed. Cream cheese is a key component, adding some necessary tang to this otherwise sweet treat.īlend these three ingredients in a food processor and let the magic happen.

I would imagine the full fat would work just as good. I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese because it is all I had on hand.

Oh, and you may want to pick up a few pairs of stretchy pants while you are at it.Ĭream cheese is the last ingredient for the inside of this ball. Life as you know it will be forever changed. I mean – cookie butter makes everything better! If you haven’t introduced yourself to cookie butter, you must stop everything you are doing and run ((fast)) to the grocery store. I also used several tablespoons of cookie butter, just because. But, of course, you can use any sandwich cookie you prefer. I chose the simple vanilla sandwich cookies ((specifically Vienna Fingers by Keebler)) because I think they do the best job of letting the cookie butter flavor shine through. Hubby had to bag them up or else we would have none for our upcoming Super Bowl part-ay!Īlthough, these were SO easy ((and therapeutic - think kindergarten & play dough)) to make, I may just have to make another batch tomorrow! The ingredient list is short & the creation process is so simple – but the taste? It is an eye-bulging wow!! This batch yielded 82 teenie wonders – after 3 hours we are officially in the 40’s. Trust me – I am buying into the lie, but my pants seem to disagree. That is right, I used the words “cookie butter” and “guilt-free” in the same paragraph.

Teenie being a code word for “eat by the dozens guilt-free”. I made “teenie” cookie butter cookie balls. Following the acquisition of the product line by Keebler, a lemon filling version of the cookie was introduced.Yes, my friends, I did it. At the time of Keebler's acquisition, Vienna Fingers brought in $50 million in sales annually. When Keebler purchased Sunshine Biscuits in 1996, it retained the product as part of its line. The company's action was a follow up to a similar Sunshine shipment sent to troops during the 1990–1991 Gulf War and a soldier's scrawled response note on an Oreo box, 'Please deploy cookies.' In the company's words, 'the donation of these cookie favorites will give the troops a taste of home and make their time away from their families a little more pleasant.' The Vienna Fingers and Hydrox cookies were brought with the troops to the refugee-filled border area between Rwanda and Zaire. In late August 1994, Sunshine Biscuits donated over 21,000 Vienna Fingers and Hydrox cookies to a contingent of American troops from Fort Eustis Army Base. At the Food Marketing Institute's 1994 Supermarket convention, both low-fat Hydrox cookies and reduced-fat Vienna Fingers were introduced by Sunshine Biscuits. In January 1985, the product was renamed 'Vienna Fingers'. In the play, Oscar Madison attempts to distract a depressed Felix Ungar with snack food: 'How about vanilla wafers? Or Vienna fingers? I got everything.' The popularity of the Vienna Fingers cookies was memorialized by American playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon in his 1965 play The Odd Couple, which was adapted into a 1968 comedy film. The cookies first were marketed by Sunshine Biscuits in 1915 and trademarked as 'Vienna Fingers Sandwich' in November 1947.
