These no-bake graduation cap cookies combine creamy cream cheese filling with crunchy Oreos and chocolate tassels for a quick, festive treat perfect for celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreos (original flavor)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • Black licorice or black licorice twists (for tassels) or melted chocolate/black frosting as alternative
  • Mini Oreos or chocolate discs (for the flat top of the graduation cap)
  • ½ cup (90 grams) chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Optional sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces (225 g) of softened cream cheese with 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes with a hand mixer.
  2. Assemble the Base Cookies: Lay out half of your Oreos (about 24) on a baking sheet or large plate. Using a small spoon or piping bag, spread about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cream cheese filling on the flat side of each Oreo.
  3. Attach the Top “Cap”: Place a mini Oreo or chocolate disc on top of the cream cheese layer, pressing gently to secure.
  4. Make the Tassels: Melt ½ cup (90 g) of chocolate chips in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Add a small dot of melted chocolate in the center of the cap’s top to act as glue, then attach a short piece of black licorice or pipe a small chocolate line for the tassel.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the assembled cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling and harden the chocolate tassels.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Chill the cookies for at least 30 minutes to ensure the filling firms up and the chocolate tassels harden. If mini Oreos are unavailable, carefully cut regular Oreos or use chocolate wafers. For tassels, black licorice can be substituted with melted chocolate, black frosting, or black fondant strips.
