These adorable Oreo Snow Globe Cookies are a delicious no-bake festive treat for the holiday season. They are made with a few readily available ingredients like oreo cookies, white chocolate, mini Reese's chocolate peanut butter cups and edible festive decorations for some fun-sized cookies that resemble a snow globe. Quick and easy to whip up, these little beauties are perfect for your Christmas cookie exchange.
The festive season is one of joy and celebration, but it's also one of the busiest time of the year when it comes to cooking and baking. And, if like me, you prefer the hustle and bustle of the everything homemade, spare time can be tricky to find.
With the oven on for hours on end preparing a Christmas feast, these no-bake Christmas cookies can save you so much time, as they literally take just a few minutes to put together, once you have all the ingredients ready.
But the result will no doubt impress everyone, from kids to grown-ups, and even the toughest food critics. They are simply adorable, and absolutely delicious, perfect for your Christmas Treats menu.
What's amazing about these Christmas snow globe cookies is that they are so versatile, you can use anything else you have around, pretty much any sandwich cookies, or you can add the flavouring of your choice to the white chocolate, and decorate with whatever edible decorations you can get.
Or, turn them around, and instead of snow globes you have Christmas baubles! How cool is that! Well, just don't forget to have the sugar decorations facing the right way when they are turned around.

Expert tips
At this time of the year you can also find Oreo White Chocolate Covered Cookies / Oreo Snowy Enrobed Biscuits, depending on the brand.
If you use these, you won't need to cover them in white chocolate, but you will still need some melted chocolate to glue them to the pb cups and to make the edible decorations stick to them.
A good swap for melted chocolate would be icing, as long as it sets well for the snow globes not to fall apart.
Do not increase the heat, it is best for the chocolate to melt at a low temperature, otherwise the melted chocolate will be grainy and impossible to dip the oreos into.
