Cookies and Cream Cheeseball

A few weeks ago, I had a MOP's party that I was going to attend.  I knew I needed to bring some sort of party food to share with everyone.  At first I thought about bringing brownies but when I got home from work that evening I decided I was not in the mood to bake so I went onto the Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen blog and try to find another recipe.  I ended up finding a recipe for cookies and cream cheeseball.   It sounded like something different and totally yummy.

Once I tasted it, I knew I had made the right choice because it was deliciouso (my own made up word).  I had some left-over so I took it to work and one of my co-workers even enjoyed it.

My hubby even enjoyed eating this right out of the fridge with a fork.

8 ounces, weight Package Cream Cheese, Softened

½ cups Butter, Softened

½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract

2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar

¾ cups Confectioner's Sugar

1 cup Oreo Cookies Broken Into Small Chunks

1 cup Oreo Cookies Crushed Fine
