- 300 grams ground butter cookies (3 1/2 cup, 10.5 oz) petit buerre, digestive, plazma or graham crackers
- 30 grams powdered sugar (1/4 cup, 1.05 oz) or more, depending what kind of cookies you use
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams cream cheese (7.05)
- 3-4 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Finely ground cookies or graham crackers in a food processor or using a ziplock bag and rolling pin.
Place the ground cookies in a bowl with the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Using an electric mixer or your hands, mix into a smooth dough. If it is still dry add one Tbsp milk or heavy cream at a time. Chill at least for 1-2 hours.
With a cookies scoop or with your hands, scoop about 1 Tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.
Melt the chocolate in a water bath or microwave in intervals of 15 seconds.
Dip every ball into melted chocolate and then place it on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles. Chill to set, about 10-20 minutes.
