Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth. Set aside.

Make the Cookie Dough

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined.

Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.

Assemble the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a small amount of the cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around it, forming a ball.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use low-fat cream cheese for the filling? While low-fat cream cheese can be used, it may result in a slightly different texture and flavor. For the best results, opt for regular cream cheese to achieve that rich and creamy filling that makes these cookies so special.

How can I make these cookies gluten-free? To make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, and ensure you use gluten-free Oreos. This way, you can enjoy the same delicious flavors while accommodating dietary restrictions.

Variations to Try

For a fun twist, consider using different flavored Oreos, such as mint or peanut butter, to create unique flavor profiles. This can add an exciting twist to the classic recipe, allowing you to enjoy new combinations while still savoring the essence of cheesecake and cookies.

If you want to elevate your cookies even further, consider adding a touch of lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a refreshing citrus flavor. This brightens up the richness of the cheesecake and adds a delightful contrast that will keep your taste buds intrigued.
