Bite through a crunchy chocolate and cream outer layer and you are rewarded with a soft, chewy, slightly cheesecake flavored filling in these Oreo Cheesecake Cookies.
If you’re a cookie lover, the title alone should get your attention. Oreo Cheesecake Cookies? Oh, and there’s chocolate chips, too. These cookies are what dreams are made of, seriously.
I had a little leftover dough so I put it in a mini loaf pan and topped it with the last two Oreo cookies I found and crushed. The result? An AMAZING mini cheesecake with Oreo topping. I may have accidentally stumbled onto something here! 🙂 I didn’t pay attention to bake time, though. I just pulled it out when I started smelling it and checked it with a toothpick. My guess would be 20-25 minutes. Just an idea!

How to make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies:
Start by creaming the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Be sure the cream cheese is room temperature and don’t over soften the butter!
Add the sugar and vanilla and mix well.
Add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing gently.
Fold in the chocolate chips
Scoop dough, roll into balls and coat thoroughly with crushed Oreos.
Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet and allow to cool before serving.
Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 6 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups Oreo crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter and cream cheese until thoroughly combined.
- Add sugar and vanilla, mix well.
- Add flour one cup at a time and mix on low just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour Oreo crumbles into a bowl. Scoop dough out and roll into roughly 1.5'' balls, then roll in cookie crumbles, coating thoroughly. Be sure to cover the dough balls really well in crumbs, as this is what holds the cookie together while baking.
- Space cookies about 1-2'' apart on sheet. Bake 14-15 minutes and allow to cool on sheet several minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

I would love to know what you did differently than the recipe to get a cookie like your picture. I like to try new recipes but so often I think you people put AI pictures up. I really didn’t have time to make these let alone waste all the ingredients. I chilled them for over an hour baked only for 12 minutes and they spread all over and burned around the edges. I have never had anything burn . I have been baking decades. I don’t know why I don’t learn my lesson and try a new recipe. I was pretty worried with no egg or leavening agent. So so so sad ! BTW I haven’t ever written a review before even though I have had to throw things out they were so bad. It’s like you people just put stuff out to make money from advertising not caring that some one else wastes their money and time.

Dear Sue,
Wow. What an unpleasant email to wake up to this morning.
1. The recipe you see is the recipe I made-I didn’t “do anything differently.” I know, because I’m the one who made it in 2013, WAAAAAYYYY before AI was even a thing. You scrolled past my original ugly photos from 2013 when you left your comment. I then updated it in 2019 with new images and STEP BY STEP photos. Again, no AI in 2019 and AI glossy images and websites never give you the step by step photos and instructions.
2. Every recipe on my site has been tested multiple times. First I make them, then I make them again at least two more times for photos. Then I have my recipe tester make them in her kitchen to be sure they turn out for someone else. And she makes them again for any photos I might want from her. These aren’t just ideas made up so I can “put stuff out to make money because I don’t care about someone wasting their time and money.” I SPEND money-and a lot of it-making recipes, photographing them, paying a recipe tester, editing, writing and hosting them on a website.
3. In the body of the post as well as in the recipe card, I emphasize the need to thoroughly coat the cookies with the OREO crumbles. This is what holds them together and keeps them from spreading everywhere. My guess is that you simply didn’t have a thick enough coating on your cookies. There could be several other issues, and I’d be happy to work through them with you if you’re interested.
Sincerely,
Nicole-a real, live, actual human being with a family and a story of my own
