Yes yes yes… it is true. It was my husband, Ben’s, idea for this wonderful week of Oreos. In our house, Oreos are a valuable good. We don’t always have them in the house but when we do, ALL of my boys will eat ALL of their meals and even lick their plates if they know Oreos are on the menu for dessert. We don’t need the other flavors, just the original chocolate cookie and vanilla cream. Oh and they MUST be double stuf. We even have a variety of eating styles. Ben and Jonah are dunkers, Maddux likes to separate his and eat the cream then the cookie, and I like to just bite mine and then wash it down with ICE COLD milk! As you can see, we kind of have a system!
Ben actually prefers just the Oreo. He has a “Don’t mess with a good thing” policy when it comes to Oreos. BUT… He loves them in brownies and ice cream and he was a big fan of these cheesecake cookies. They are soft and cheesecake-y on the inside and have a delightful crumbly oreo outside. Imagine a cheesecake with an Oreo crust and there you have it. A wonderful cookie for any Oreo lover!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup BUTTER, room temperature
- 3 ounces CREAM CHEESE, room temperature
- 1 cup SUGAR
- 1 teaspoon VANILLA
- 1 cup FLOUR
- 1/2 cup MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- 13 OREO COOKIES, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and well combined. Add the sugar and vanilla and mix until the ingredients are well combined. Add the flour and mix on low until the flour is incorporated. Stir in the mini chocolate chips with a rubber spatula. Place the Oreo crumbs in a small bowl. Create 1½" balls and then roll in the cookie crumbs. Place the cookie balls on a parchement lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are slightly puffed. Cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes approximately 18 cookies. ENJOY!!

Hi Megan!! I swear every time I come to the site I see a post from Becca! It’s nice to see your name attached to this one. I have a question. Is there a tutorial you can direct me to on how to get the pinterest button on my photographs?

These look dangerously easy! I agree with both of you on this one. It’s hard to beat a plain Oreo, but it can be done!

This is a match made in heaven. I need these ASAP.
These will be perfect for the holidays!
This might be a dumb question but I just came across this and I know my husband would love it (he would eat cheesecake 24/7 if I let him). Anyway, is it just the Oreo crumbs that are used or do you crush the entire cookie, cream included? I just don’t want to mess it up bc they look so good!
Thanks!
Use the entire Oreo, hope you enjoy them!
