Description
Oreo Cheesecake Cookies combine the creamy texture of cheesecake with crunchy Oreo chunks for a deliciously unique treat. Soft, chewy, and packed with flavor, these cookies are simple to make and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces block-style cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups original Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (from 18–20 cookies)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter with a handheld mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth with no lumps.
- Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well-combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing on low speed just until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the roughly chopped Oreo cookies, being careful not to break them up too much. Ensure there are visible chunks of Oreos throughout the dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30-45 minutes or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out a level amount of dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve scooped 12 cookie dough balls, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball to about ¼ to ½ inch thickness and 2 inches wide using your fingertips or the palm of your hand. Keep the remaining dough in the refrigerator.
- Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat steps 7-10 until all the cookies are baked and cooled.
Notes
- For a chewier cookie, try refrigerating the dough for longer, even overnight.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- You can drizzle melted white chocolate over the cookies for an extra special touch!
