Never choose between your favorite cookies and cakes for dessert again! These are the best Oreo cheesecake cookies to feed a crowd.
You’d better have a second batch ready to go – these tasty treats will be gone in the blink of an eye!
The difference between these and the 5 ingredient Oreo cheesecake cookies you might have seen before is texture.
Cream cheese is worked into the dough; it doesn’t have the creamy build of a cheesecake. Instead, it’s tender with gooey scatterings of melted chocolate chips and pockets of crunchy chopped Oreos.
You could truly incorporate any cookie into this recipe. Like I said, what makes this recipe so special is the juxtaposition of textures, so an extra cookie crunch – regardless of the cookie itself – will be phenomenal!

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
STEP ONE: Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the softened butter and cream cheese.
STEP TWO: Pour the sugar into the stand mixer bowl and mix for another 2 minutes until fluffy. Follow with the egg and vanilla, mixing until totally incorporated. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl periodically to get every last bit mixed in.
STEP THREE: Add the baking soda and flour to the bowl and mix once more. Once combined, add the Oreos and chocolate chips. Fold by hand with a spatula to avoid crushing the cookies.
STEP FOUR: Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to scoop out the cookies and arrange them 2” apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. With the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, flatten each cookie until they’re ½” thick.
STEP FIVE: Slide the baking sheet into the freezer for 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 350F.
STEP SIX: Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and tap lightly on the counter to let the cookie centers “sink” — this promotes even cooking. Slide the tray back into the oven for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
STEP SEVEN: Pull the tray out of the oven and tap once more. Let the cookies cool on the tray before serving.
How Long Do These Cookies Last?
Leftovers can be kept for up to 5 days. They’re fine to keep at room temperature as long as they’re not in any direct sunlight! Refrigerating will always help them last a bit longer.
A word to the wise – these are heavenly when warm.
If they somehow make it to the next day, then I recommend popping them in the microwave for just a few seconds until they’re properly melty.
Can You Freeze Oreo Cheesecake Cookies?
Absolutely – and since this is a very easy recipe to double, I’d recommend stashing some away for a rainy day.
I recommend scooping out each individual cookie and storing them that way for easy placement and portioning.
Scoop and flatten each cookie on the baking sheet, but put them in the freezer instead of the oven.
Once they’ve hardened a bit, put them in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
Variations and Tips for the Best Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
- White chocolate chips, nuts, crushed candy bars, and even some more mini Oreos can be added to the dough for a slightly different flair. Try different flavored Oreos, too!
- Don’t use Double Stuff! The texture will be off with the extra filling.
- Measure carefully so that you don’t use too much flour – that would result in dry, crumbly cookies. The trusty spoon and level method is the way to go for this one!

Our 15 minute Oreo Cheesecake Cookies match crunchy with chewy, tangy with chocolatey, and are so quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chopped oreo cookies
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the softened butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the two together until well combined.
- Next, add the granulated sugar and mix until light and fluffy– about 2 minutes.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla. Mix to combine. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour and baking soda. Mix to combine.
- Next, add the chopped oreos and chocolate chips. Fold the add-ins into the batter using a rubber spatula– using a mixer can break up the oreos too much.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 2-tablespoon sized portions and place them at least 2” apart on the baking sheets. Press the cookies down to form a ½” thick disc.
- Freeze the cookie dough balls for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350F.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Then tap the tray on the counter a few times to sink the cookies (this will help them fully bake in the center) and return them to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and tap them on the counter again. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray.
