Indulgent Oreo cheesecake cookies blend creamy cheesecake richness with classic Oreo crunch, creating a delightful dessert sensation. Chocolate lovers will savor these irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth treats that promise pure bliss in every single bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
  • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened

Sweeteners:

  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Warm the kitchen oven to 350F (175C) and prepare two baking surfaces with protective parchment or silicone liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a mixing vessel, whipping the mixture until it becomes airy and voluminous, which typically requires vigorous blending for approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Introduce vanilla extract into the creamy base and integrate thoroughly.
  4. Separately sift flour and baking powder, then methodically incorporate these dry components into the wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain a smooth, cohesive texture without overmixing.
  5. Delicately fold crushed Oreo cookies into the dough, ensuring even distribution of cookie fragments throughout the mixture.
  6. Craft uniform dough spheres using approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture per cookie, carefully positioning each rounded portion onto the prepared baking surfaces with sufficient spacing to allow expansion.
  7. Position the trays in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until cookie edges become stabilized and surfaces develop a slightly elevated appearance.
  8. Remove from oven and permit cookies to rest on baking sheets for a brief 5-minute interval, allowing them to solidify and set before transferring to a cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.

Notes

  • Softening butter and cream cheese is crucial for achieving a smooth, creamy texture without lumps. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing.
  • Crushing Oreo cookies into varying sizes creates delightful pockets of chocolatey crunch throughout the cookie, enhancing overall texture and flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, ensuring the cookies remain tender and delicious for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and maintains the cookies’ shape, resulting in picture-perfect treats with crisp edges.
