Oreo Angels – Simple Christmas Cookies

Published: Nov 24, 2014 · Recipe by: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

Give one of these precious Oreo Angels to all of your little angels this holiday season and see the magic that a chocolate covered cookie holds. They will all shine bright and maybe even make the nice list.

Give one of these precious Oreo Angels to all of your little angels this holiday season and see the magic that a chocolate covered cookie holds. They will all shine bright and maybe even make the nice list.

I’m not saying the kids will become perfect little angels, only that for a moment while the lollipops are in their mouths, there will be peace.

Oreo Angels are heavenly little treats for Christmas, Vacation Bible School, or Sunday School | HungryHappenings.com

This holiday season, I’m going to do my best to sprinkle in some super easy edible craft projects among the more challenging ones and write short, to the point posts, so I can get back in the kitchen and work on more projects.

Last week, I shared Mega M&M’s Christmas Ornaments, which truly couldn’t be a more simple craft to create. Todays, Oreo Angels are just a little more complicated than the M&M project, but I used store bought ingredients for all the decorations, so there’s no pulling pans and bowls out or lots of dishes to wash. They come together quickly and are a fun edible craft to make with the kids.

How to turn White Fudge Oreos into Adorable Oreo Angels | HungryHappenings.com

Oreo Angels

Ingredients:

White Fudge Oreos
black food coloring marker
dried apricots
gold luster dust
Shortbread Cookies (thin and shaped like flowers)
silver luster dust
candies – Starburst Fruit Chews, Tootsie Rolls, salt water taffy, fruit roll ups

Edible Glue – Betty Crocker Cookie Icing or white Candy Melts

Instructions:

How to make Oreo Angels | HungryHappenings.com

Use a sharp knife to smooth out the edges of your White Fudge Oreos.

Draw eyes and a mouth onto each Oreo Cookie using a black food coloring marker.

Cut an oval hole in the middle of each apricot using a knife or a small oval cutter to create a halo. Brush with gold luster dust, if you’d like.

Unwrap candies. Heat one piece of candy at a time in the microwave on defrost for about 10 seconds to soften. Flatten out the candy, then cut it into angel hair. Shape it over the top of an Oreo and cut off excess. Do one candy at a time as they don’t stay soft for very long.

Cut two petals off each flower shaped shortbread. Brush them with silver luster dust. Glue two cookies together at the cut seam using cookie icing or melted Candy Melts. Attach to the back of an Oreo Angel using either of the edible glues. Allow the edible glue to dry completely.

Serve the Oreo Angels just as they are or …

How to attach Oreo Angels to paper straws or lollipop sticks | HungryHappenings.com

attach lollipop sticks or paper straws to the backside of each angel using melted Candy Melts. Spoon some of the candy melts onto the back side of the cookies, set a stick on top, and add more candy melts to cover the stick. Allow them to dry completely before moving them.

Being the apricot halos stick out from the front of the cookie, I found it easiest to set the angels flat by hanging them over the edge of my cutting board, allowing the apricot to touch the table. I hadn’t planned on putting them on sticks until I was done. You might find it easier to add the halos after you put them on sticks.

    Oh so cute! We don't have white fudge oreo cookies here in Australia, but I'm sure I can cheat my way out of it using white chocolate melt 🙂 You're very creative

      Thanks, Wita. Actually, I felt like I was cheating by using the fudge covered Oreo cookies. I would usually dip them in white chocolate myself. So, yes, that's the perfect thing to do. Have fun.

    What a sweet choir angels you can make with all "store bought" stuff. They'd be great to bring to a Sunday school class. The instructions for making hair is great and the different colors make each angel such an individual.

    Looking back – your silly snowmen look like something out of FROZEN. They ARE silly and make one laugh because of their funny eyes and happy expressions.
