oz I use these 2 plastic shotglasses from Amazon.
10 Golden Oreo Cookies ((I used the "Birthday Cake Golden Oreos", but just regular Golden Oreos would be fine, too))
2 Tbsp butter (melted)
16 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup + 2 Tbsp white cake mix
½ cup powdered sugar
12 oz thawed Cool Whip
Sprinkles and cherries for topping (optional)

In a food processor blend your Oreos to fine crumbs.
Transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Add the melted butter and use a fork to combine.
Set out 22 2-oz plastic shot glasses and use a small spoon or teaspoon to press about 1 ½ - 2 tsp of cookie crumbs into the bottom of each shot glass.
Prepare your filling.
Filling
- In a stand mixer or with an electric mixer stir together cream cheese and vanilla extract. Gradually add cake mix and powdered sugar until completely combined. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl periodically to ensure ingredients are well-combined.
- With mixer on low-speed, add cool whip and stir to combine. You will need to pause frequently and use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure it is well-combined. You want the filling to be creamy and smooth -- not lumpy.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large tip (I used an Ateco 846 closed-star tip--if you do not have this tip you can simply transfer the filling to a large Ziploc bag, snip a corner off, and pipe the frosting in that way).
- Top with sprinkles and cherries, if using, and serve.
- Keep any uneaten dessert shooters refrigerated in an airtight container.

Can you have these outside when it is 86+? Will they melt?

Hi Sam, I plan on making these for my party that's coming up in June I noticed you haven't made a video on these little shooters, I was wondering if you plan on uploading a short video on how to make these on YouTube? Hopefully before June 5th 🤞🏻.

I love the batter it’s so nice smooth but it’s too sugary for me next time I will not add the powdered sugar and add a bit more cream cheese, other than that I love this recipe!!! P.s everyone at the baby shower loved it !!!
