Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 TBSP White granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Oreo Cookies

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 cup Brown sugar (packed light or dark)
  • 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups Oreo pieces (about 12 Oreos)
  • 1/2 cup Oreo crumbs (about 5 Oreos)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed for 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  2. Scoop Cheesecake Filling: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Use a 1/2 tablespoon to scoop cheesecake dollops onto the sheet.
  3. Freeze Filling: Place the scooped cheesecake dollops in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  5. Process Oreos: Use a food processor to blend the Oreo pieces and Oreo crumbs into a mixture with varied texture for added crunch.
  6. Beat Wet Ingredients: Using a mixer, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on high speed for 2 minutes until creamy. Add vanilla extract and eggs and mix on medium until fully combined.
  7. Combine Dry and Wet: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed just until combined. Fold in the Oreo pieces and crumbs until evenly distributed.
  8. Preheat Oven and Rest Dough: Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let the cookie dough rest for 10 minutes to hydrate the flour and thicken.
  9. Scoop Cookie Dough: Use a large cookie scoop (2 oz or 2 tablespoons) to scoop dough balls onto the prepared sheets. While dough is still in the scoop, press a hole with your thumb into each dough ball.
  10. Add Cheesecake Filling: Place a frozen cheesecake dollop into the hole of each cookie dough ball, then cover the filling and reshape the dough to enclose it completely.
  11. Bake Cookies: Place 6 cookie dough balls per sheet. Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and cookies are set.
  12. Cool and Finish: When cookies come out warm, top each with extra Oreo pieces. Let them sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Chill Before Serving: Place cooled cookies in the fridge. These cookies taste best when chilled and served cold, allowing the cheesecake filling to firm up inside the cookie.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cream cheese and eggs to come to room temperature before using.
  • Use fresh Oreos for Oreo pieces and crumbs to maximize flavor and texture.
  • Freezing the cheesecake filling is essential to prevent it from melting too much during baking.
  • Refrigerate the finished cookies before serving to get the ideal creamy texture inside.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
