Description

These Ritz Cracker Christmas Cookies are a festive and delicious treat featuring peanut butter sandwich cookies dipped in smooth white chocolate and topped with holiday sprinkles and flaky sea salt. Perfect for the holiday season, these no-bake cookies combine the salty crunch of Ritz crackers with creamy peanut butter and sweet white chocolate for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 2 sleeves Ritz Crackers, approximately 60 crackers
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)

Coating and Toppings

  • 20 oz. Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil (optional, to aid melting)
  • 1/4 cup festive holiday sprinkles
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Base: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arrange one sleeve of Ritz crackers flat side up evenly spaced on the sheet.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of peanut butter on each cracker, ensuring a thick layer. Top each with another cracker, rounded side up, to form sandwiches.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Optionally, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil to improve chocolate consistency.
  4. Dip Cookies: Using a fork, carefully dunk each peanut butter sandwich cookie into the melted white chocolate until fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before returning the cookie to the parchment paper. Drizzle leftover chocolate over the cookies for decoration.
  5. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle festive holiday sprinkles and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the dipped cookies while the chocolate is still wet.
  6. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container or freeze for longer preservation.

Notes

  • Dark chocolate melting wafers can be used instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months to extend shelf life.
