OREO CHEESECAKE COOKIES

Ok, so these cookies. It’s no secret that I love Oreo’s in virtually any dessert. I’m happily addicted to cookies & creme milkshakes (recipe coming soon), I love Oreo cheesecake bars, I love cookies & creme rice krispies, and now, I’m in love with Oreo cheesecake COOKIES. There’s a subtle hint of cheesecake after the first few bites but then you’re hit with the Oreo’s and the mini chocolate chips hidden in the batter. Oh my, this cookie is a definite winner and I LOVE how it’s encrusted in Oreo cookie crumbs.

OREO CHEESECAKE COOKIES RECIPE
Oreo cheesecake cookies with hidden mini chocolate chips and encrusted with Oreo cookie crumbs!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup crushed Oreo's, it took about roughly 10 Oreo cookies

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they're fine crumbs. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
4. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until well incorporated.
5. Gently mix in the flour and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
6. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop the dough and put it in your hands to roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the Oreo crumbs and cover the dough well.
7. Place on cookie sheet and repeat until all the dough has been used up.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes (I had to bake mine for longer because my balls were a lot bigger so it took 20 minutes to bake).
9. Remove from oven when you see that the edges are getting browned. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
