2 egg whites
1  cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Red & green  gel food coloring

Cookie Pop Directions

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
Separate the Oreo cookies, keeping the filling in place. Keep the separated Oreo cookie intact.
Put the candy stick in the center of the filling one half of the way up the cookie.

Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally.
Dip the half of the Oreo cookie piece without the filling into the melted white chocolate to add as “glue”.
Place the dipped  Oreo cookie  half on top of the other half. The other half with the filling.

Place the dipped cookies on the lined cookie sheet and into the freezer for 10 minutes.
Remove the Oreo cookie from the freezer and automatically dip it into the melted white chocolate again.
Place each dipped cookie onto the lined cookie sheet and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

As you can see by changing up the color of the cookie pop holder you get a totally different look.
