Tips for Perfect Cookies

To ensure your Oreo Cheesecake Cookies turn out perfectly every time, consider using room temperature ingredients. Softened butter and cream cheese blend more easily, resulting in a smoother dough and filling. Additionally, be careful not to overmix the cookie dough once you add the dry ingredients; this helps maintain a tender texture.

When assembling the cookies, make sure to seal the cheesecake filling completely within the dough. This prevents the filling from leaking during baking, ensuring that each cookie retains its wonderful taste. Baking times may vary slightly based on your oven, so keep an eye on the edges for that perfect golden color.

Ingredients

For the Cookies

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

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly for a delicious cookie dough!

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

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

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and shape it into a ball.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the Cookies

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.

Enjoy your delicious Oreo Cheesecake Cookies!

Storage Tips

To keep your Oreo Cheesecake Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider refrigerating them, where they can last for up to two weeks without sacrificing flavor or texture.

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

Customization Ideas

Feel free to customize your Oreo Cheesecake Cookies to suit your taste! You could incorporate different flavored Oreo cookies, such as mint or peanut butter, for a unique twist on the classic recipe. Adding chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks to the dough can also enhance the flavor and texture.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or sprinkling crushed Oreos on top before baking. These small additions can elevate your cookies from delicious to extraordinary, making them a standout treat for any occasion.
