My Oreo cheesecake cookies are made with cream cheese and Oreos and have a soft and chewy texture. It's all of the flavors you love about cheesecake in cookie form!
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 Oreo's and chocolate chips. Fold them into the batter using a rubber spatula.
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 preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
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.
Notes
Avoid the Double Stuf Oreos because they make the texture too soft.
Full-fat cream cheese is an absolute must for that cheesecake-like richness.
Bigger Oreo chunks create those perfect pockets of cookies-and-cream flavor. Plus, they make the cookies look amazing!
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the cheesecake cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
Chilling the dough in the freezer for about 15 minutes helps keep the cookies from spreading too much while they bake.
Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
