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

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.
Add the confectioners' sugar, the brown sugar, and the vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and beat to combine.
Use a rubber spatula to fold the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
Place two overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on a work surface, then scrape the cookie dough mixture into the center.
Use your hands to form the cookie dough mixture into a ball, then cover it tightly with the plastic wrap.
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.
In a small bowl, add the silver sprinkles and the rainbow sprinkles and mix to combine.
Unwrap the cookie dough ball and place it on a serving plate. Evenly cover it with the sprinkle mixture, pressing to adhere.
Serve the cookie dough ball with the vanilla wafers and the pretzels.
