How to make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until mixed well.
Step 5: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined well.
Step 6: Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies. Be sure to mix gently so that the Oreo cookies stay chunky.
Step 7: In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth.
Step 8: Using a small cookie scoop, form balls of cookie dough and flatten each one slightly on a cookie sheet. Place a small amount of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each flattened ball of dough.
Step 9: Fold the edges of the cookie dough around the cream cheese mixture, ensuring that the cream cheese is sealed completely inside.
Step 10: Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave about 2 inches between each one.
Step 11: Bake for 10 minutes or until edges of the cookies turn a light golden brown.
Step 12: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Storage Tips
Cookies can be stored for up to 7 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
To freeze, place your cookies in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy them, let them sit at room temperature for a few hours or in the refrigerator overnight to thaw.
Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
Have leftover cookie dough and want to save it for later? Just form your cookie dough balls, place them on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the cookies to a freezer bag and store them again in the freezer. The dough will last up to 3 months.

Tips
- For best results, you'll want to use full fat cream cheese.
- These are best with large Oreo cookie chunks. The best option is to chop them with a knife or place them inside a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin. A food processor is not recommended, since it may chop the cookies too finely.
- The key to perfectly baked cookies is a well-mixed cookie dough. It's best to use an electric mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment if you have one.
- Be sure to keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. Different ovens can give you different results and you don't want your cookies to end up overbaked or burned.
- Chilling the cookie dough before baking is optional but it will help prevent the cookies from spreading as they bake.
