Ingredients
- 1 1/2 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup silver sprinkles
- 3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
- vanilla wafers, to taste, for serving
- mini pretzel twists, to taste, for serving
Directions
Step 1 -In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and the butter and use an electric hand mixer to beat until it is light and fluffy.
Step 2 -Add the confectioners' sugar, the brown sugar, and the vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and beat to combine.
Step 3 -Use a rubber spatula to fold the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4 -Place two overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on a work surface, then scrape the cookie dough mixture into the center.
Step 5 -Use your hands to form the cookie dough mixture into a ball, then cover it tightly with the plastic wrap.
Step 6 -Place the wrapped cookie dough ball in a small bowl and refrigerate until it is firm, about 3 hours. Note: After chilling for about 2 hours, it will be firm enough to shape into a better-shaped ball, if desired.

Step 8 -Unwrap the cookie dough ball and place it on a serving plate. Evenly cover it with the sprinkle mixture, pressing to adhere.
