Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies

For the Cheesecake Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cookie dough.

Make the Cookie Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.

Assemble the Cookies

Using a cookie scoop, take a portion of the cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center, then fold the dough over to seal it. Roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your Oreo Cheesecake Cookies fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within a week, but you can also refrigerate them for a longer shelf life. If you choose to refrigerate them, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance their flavor and texture.

For longer storage, these cookies can be frozen. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a zip-lock freezer bag. They can be kept in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them at room temperature or warm them slightly in the oven.

Serving Suggestions

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies can be served on their own or paired with various accompaniments. For a special touch, try drizzling some melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top before serving. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate these cookies to a whole new level of indulgence.

Consider serving them alongside a cup of coffee or a glass of milk for a classic pairing. These cookies also make a great option for dessert platters at gatherings, allowing guests to enjoy a bite-sized treat that is both satisfying and delicious.

Tips for Success

To ensure your Oreo Cheesecake Cookies turn out perfectly, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Using room temperature ingredients, particularly the cream cheese and butter, will help achieve a smooth and creamy filling. Avoid overmixing the cookie dough to maintain a chewy texture—mix until just combined for the best results.

Experiment with the amount of crushed Oreos in the cookie dough to find your preferred balance of flavors. If you love Oreos, feel free to add a bit more! Lastly, keep an eye on the baking time; every oven is different, and you want to remove them from the oven when the edges are just lightly golden for the best chewy texture.
