    • Real cheesecake flavor – Cream cheese in the dough = tangy, rich taste.
    • Loaded with Oreos – Big chunks in every bite, no crumbs-only dough.

    Ingredients for Oreo cheesecake cookies

    • Unsalted butter – Softened, room temperature for a smooth, creamy dough.
    • Cream cheese – Use full-fat cream cheese like Philadelphia for the best texture.
    • Sugar – Light brown or white sugar works; brown adds a deeper flavor.
    • Flour – Cake flour or all-purpose flour both make soft, tender cookies.
    • Vanilla extract & salt – Boost the flavor and balance the sweetness.
    • Oreo cookies – Classic Oreos, roughly chopped into chunks (not crumbs) for texture.

      Tips for this recipe

      • Use soft butter and cream cheese – It helps the dough blend smoothly.
      • Chill the dough – Keeps the cookies thick and prevents spreading.
      • Don’t overmix – Mix just until combined for a soft, tender texture.
      • Add Oreos last – So they stay chunky and don’t crumble too fine.
      • Bake until just set – They’ll finish cooking as they cool for that chewy center.

      Variations & Substitutions


      • Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies – Add mini chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
      • Double Chocolate Version – Mix 2 tbsp cocoa powder into the dough for a richer flavor.
      • Red Velvet Oreo Cookies – Add red food coloring and a touch of cocoa for a festive twist like these red velvet Oreo cookies.
      • Biscoff Cream Cheese Cookies – Swap Oreos for crushed Biscoff cookies.
      • Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies – Stir in a spoonful of peanut butter for a nutty kick.

      Recipe Questions

      Why did my Oreo cheesecake cookies spread too much?

      The dough was likely too warm — always chill it at least 30 minutes before baking to keep the cookies thick and chewy.
