Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs with a food processor or use a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin. Add the crumbs to a stand mixer with a large bowl with the softened cream cheese. Mix until incorporated. Roll the mixture into 1\" balls. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for about 1 hour, until firm.
