Variations

• Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor and look.
• Add a drizzle of caramel before dipping for extra richness.
• Swap the peanut butter with cookie butter or Nutella for a twist.
• Color the chocolate with food-safe dyes to match party themes or holidays.
• Use golden Oreos for a vanilla-based version.

storage/reheating

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
If you live in a warm climate or used real chocolate, you can refrigerate them to keep the coating from melting.
No reheating is required, but if the chocolate is too firm, letting them sit at room temperature for a few minutes will soften the coating slightly.

FAQs

How far in advance can I make these?

You can make them up to 5 days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Can I use natural peanut butter?

Yes, but natural peanut butter may be runnier. Make sure it’s well-stirred and use a thin layer to avoid messiness.

Are these cookies freezer-friendly?

Yes, you can freeze them for up to one month. Layer them with parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container.

Can I use other nut butters?

Absolutely. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are all great alternatives.

How do I apply the gold glitter?

Use a small spoon or a food-safe brush to sprinkle or dust the glitter onto the wet chocolate.

Will the glitter affect the taste?

Most edible glitters are tasteless, so they won’t change the flavor of your cookies.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, just use gluten-free Oreos or similar sandwich cookies.

Is there a vegan version?

Use vegan sandwich cookies, dairy-free chocolate, and a plant-based peanut butter to make this recipe vegan-friendly.

How do I keep the chocolate from clumping?

Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave or use a double boiler. Stir frequently and don’t overheat.

Can I package these for gifts?

Definitely. Let them set completely, then place them in mini cupcake liners inside gift boxes or treat bags for a festive presentation.
