Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
If you know me, you know that I absolutely, positively love cheesecake. Cheesecake anything. Cheesecake everything. I have sampled countless different varieties of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, and I always come back to the Oreo cheesecake. I love many of them, but I’m such a kid when it comes to Oreos and I totally adore them in my cheesecake. I even made myself an Oreo Cheesecake for my birthday a few years back. So when I saw these cookies – essentially a cheesecake with mini chocolate chips, and rolled in Oreo crumbs – they were calling my name!

Truth be told, I was pretty darn tempted to totally ditch the actual cookies and just eat the cookie dough straight up out of the bowl. There are no eggs, so it was especially tempting. I couldn’t stop sneaking tastes! Actually, I think that rolling the dough into balls and then freezing them would make a great center for cheesecake truffles. Or, just a really fantastic treat from the freezer ;-)
If you love cheesecake and/or Oreos, you will totally adore these cookies!

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 ounces (85.05 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (160 g) Oreo cookie crumbs
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- 2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and well-combined.
- 3. Add the sugar and vanilla extract 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.
- 4. Place the Oreo cookie crumbs in a small bowl. Scoop the cookies into about 1½ to 2" balls and then roll in the cookie crumbs. Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are slightly puffed.
- 5. Cool on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Wow… These cookies look amazing! I would have been sneaking bites of the cookie dough, too!
Oh that’s so funny, I was just looking for a cheesecake cookie recipe! These look amazing! :) I will definitely be making them soon.
I made your oreo cheesecake last week for my birthday, it was the first cheesecake I ever made and it was so delicious!
I love Oreos too! If I made these I think all the dough would end up in my tummy before I ever got around to baking them ;).
Ohhh….yes….I will be making these! You always have the best recipes – just when I think that traditional cookies are getting a little boring and I’m in the mood for something different – BAM – Michelle has something amazing posted!! :o)
Omg, what an awesome combination, oreo’s and cream cheese! I’ll have to book mark this one!
Ohhh yum!! These sound amazing! Must make!
Your description of these cookies makes my thighs tremble. I fear they won’t make it into the oven!
I’m totally cracking up over your comment, Sharlene, but I mirror the sentiments. These cookies look TO DIE FOR!
Cheesecake, cookies & oreo combined! Holy cow yum! Those sound outstanding!
Wow these look fantastic! I too adore cheesecake. And I adore Oreos!
These look so good! The fact that they’re egg-less makes me think they won’t even make it to the oven.
I don’t know how I feel about these cookies. The combo sounds amazing, but I dunno…..
These really do look delish and they remind me a bit of the White Chocolate Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake I posted on my blog not long ago! I used oreo cookie crumbs for the thick crust and then white chocolate cheesecake with a swirl of strawberry. YUMM!
my co-worker makes oreo truffles where she basically just mixes a package of cream cheese with crushed oreos, rolls into balls, and dips them in chocolate. they are crazy good! something about cream cheese and oreos is just a perfect match.
I’m such a huge fan of eggless cookie dough – I can eat the dough straight out of the bow, guilt-free! I am currently finishing up some mint chocolate cookies I made, but these might be next on the list!
You better believe I am making this cookie dough and forming it into cheesecake truffles!!! What a creative way to have your cheesecake and eat it too =)

Haha, did you say ‘cheesecake’ enough times in your opening paragraph?

Those sound awesome! I have leftover Oreo-type cookies to use up… no cream cheese, but might be worth a trip to the store. :)
Yum! I must make these very soon :)
I love cheesecake too! I know I’d love these cookies. Like you, my favorite cheesecake is oreo too :)
I think I may have fallen in love!
