Baseball Cookies
I’ve made a lot of themed treats over the years, but these Oreo Baseball Cookies are always the ones people talk about. It’s probably the white chocolate coating paired with those classic little red stitches that really catch the eye. Even when I set them out with other snacks, somehow, these cookies are always the first thing to disappear.
What I love the most is these are the type of treats that look like you went all out, but they couldn’t be easier. Just dip, chill, and pipe on the stitches. No oven, no stress, and you can make them ahead of time, which is a lifesaver during busy weeks.
If you’re planning a whole baseball-themed get-together, be sure to check out my budget-friendly baseball party ideas. There are lots of easy, fun ways to celebrate.
Why We Love This Recipe
- Easy recipe: These chocolate covered cookies only call for three ingredients…no baking required.
- Kid-friendly: These are fun to make with the kids. They love piping on the little red stitches.
- Budget friendly: With so few ingredients to buy, you won’t break the bank making these.
Ingredients
- Oreo cookies: I used vanilla Oreos but any round sandwich cookie will work here.
- White candy melts: These give a smooth coating and make the perfect baseball background.
- Red candy melts: Used for piping the stitches. You’ll only need a small amount.
How To Make Baseball Oreo Cookies
Step 1. Add the white candy melts to a bowl and microwave for 60 seconds. Stir, then heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. You can stir in ½ tablespoon vegetable oil to thin the coating, if needed.
Step 2. Using a fork, dip each cookie into the melted coating, flip to cover both sides, then tap off excess on the side of the bowl.
Step 3. Place dipped cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and chill for about 15 minutes, or until set.
Step 4. Use a round cutter or the edge of a cap to lightly press a curved groove where the stitches will go. You don’t have to do this part, but for me it was easier to have the lines to follow so they looked even.
Step 5. Melt red candy melts in 30-second intervals until smooth. Add to a plastic squeeze bottle, piping bag, or sandwich bag with a snipped corner.
Step 6. Trace along the grooves with red candy.
Step 7. Next, pipe small diagonal lines for the stitches.
Step 8. Let the cookies sit at room temp or chill again briefly until the red candy is set. Now your baseball cookies are ready to eat!
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week. I usually separate the layers with parchment to keep the decorations nice and neat.
- Freezer: You can also freeze them. Freeze in a single layer until firm, then store in freezer bags for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge to prevent condensation from ruining the candy coating.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a toothpick to fix any lines or smudges after piping.
- If your red melts are too thick, add a tiny bit of vegetable oil.
- You may want to practice one or two stitches on parchment before decorating the cookies.
- Let cookies fully set in the fridge before decorating so the red lines don’t smear.
Variation and Add-ins
- Cookies: Swap vanilla Oreos for chocolate ones for a dark-and-white contrast.
- Cookie pops: Make Oreo pops by gently inserting a lollipop stick into the cream center before dipping.
- Chocolate: You can use white almond bark instead of candy melts if that’s what you have.
- Glitter: Add a light dusting of edible glitter for a little sparkle at team parties.
FAQs
A sandwich bag with the tip cut or a regular piping bag will work too. I just find the piping bottle easier to use for this.
You can use white candy melts and tint them with red gel coloring, as long as it’s not water-based.
Nope! Any round cookie will work as long as it’s sturdy enough to dip. Sandwich cookies hold their shape well, but something like a plain shortbread or Nilla Wafer will work too.
