    Ingredients you need

    You need these ingredients to make these Oreo cream cheese cookies:

    • Unsalted Butter: Use softened butter with at least 80% fat content and well softened. Remember to take it out in advance or warm it slightly in the microwave.
    • Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese only like Philadelphia brand or other similar cream cheeses, not low-fat.
    • Sugar: Preferably dark brown sugar or light brown sugar or use a granulated white sugar.
    • Flour: I use T45 flour which is the equivalent of cake flour in the United States, but all-purpose flour will also work.
    • Vanilla and salt: Liquid pure vanilla extract and fleur de sel (sea salt) to enhance the flavors.
    • Oreo cookies: Classic Oreo cookies, cut the Oreo into chunks directly with your hands, rather than having tiny Oreo pieces and fine Oreo crumbs.

    Bake cookies

    Step 5: Use a tablespoon or a medium cookie scoop to form cookie dough small balls and place them on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Step 6: Add chopped Oreo cookie pieces on top to make them more appetizing.

    Step 7: Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C and bake the Oreo cheesecake cookies for around 15-17 minutes, until golden brown around the edges but still soft to the touch.

    Leave the cheesecake cookies to cool off a bit before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    Tips for best results

    • Use Softened Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is softened before mixing it into the cookie dough for smooth incorporation.
    • Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and help the flavors meld together.
    • Don't Overmix: Mix the dough until just combined to avoid overworking it, which can lead to tough cookies.
    • Use Good Quality Oreos: Choose fresh and crunchy Oreos for the best texture and flavor in your cookies.
    • Use a Cookie Scoop: Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough evenly for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
    • Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies while baking and remove them from the oven when the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
    • Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent them from breaking.

    Storage

    At room temperature: Store leftover cookies for about 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container away from moisture.

    How to freeze them? Once the baked cookies have cooled completely, place them in a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Raw freezing: You can also freeze them before baking, once they've been shaped into balls and when you fancy a cookie, just let them defrost for about 1 hour before following the baking instructions.

    Variations & Substitutions

    • Oreo chocolate chip cheesecake cookies: Add mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips like this recipe for Oreo chocolate chip cookies.
    • Double Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Cookies: Use chocolate cookie dough and add cocoa powder to the cheesecake filling for an extra chocolatey treat.
    • Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake Cookies: Mix peanut butter into the cookie dough and swirl it into the cheesecake filling for a deliciously nutty twist like these Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.
    • Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake Cookies: Use red velvet cookie dough and add red food coloring to the cheesecake like these red velvet Oreo cookies.
    • Biscoff cream cheese cookies: Replace Oreo cookies with crushed biscoff cookies, like these Biscoff butter cookies.
    • Vegan Oreo cream cheese cookies: As the recipe contains no eggs, you can also use dairy-free cream cheese to make a vegan recipe.
    • Oreo cheesecake brownies: one layer of cheesecake and one layer of chocolate brownies like these Oreo cheesecake brownies.

    Recipe Questions

    Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese for the cheesecake filling?

    Yes, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese, but note that it may affect the texture and flavor slightly.

    How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking?

    Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent excessive spreading. Additionally, using a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on the baking sheet can help.

    With no baking powder or baking soda will this recipe still bake right?

    Yes, this recipe should still bake properly without baking powder or baking soda, as the cream cheese filling provides structure and moisture to the cookies during baking.
