Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
There’s something special about the combination of Oreo cookies and cheesecake - and when you turn them into a soft, chocolatey cookie, it’s pure bliss. These Oreo Cheesecake Cookies are rich, slightly tangy, and filled with cookie-and-cream goodness. They’re simple enough for a weeknight treat, but special enough to share with friends and family.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temp
- 4 oz cream cheese room temp
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 Oreo cookies crushed
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth, light, and creamy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix just until a dough forms - don’t overmix or the cookies may become tough.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreos and chocolate chips (if using) so they’re evenly distributed in the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Room Temperature Ingredients: Let the butter, cream cheese, and egg come to room temp so they mix smoothly.
Avoid Overbaking: The cookies should look slightly soft in the center when you pull them out - they’ll firm up as they cool.
Crushing Oreos: Crush them into chunks, not crumbs, so you get those big Oreo bites throughout the cookie.
Chill the Dough: If your dough feels sticky, chill it for 20 minutes before scooping. This helps the cookies keep their shape.
