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

These are one of those recipes that look kind of icky but sound amazing, something U have to make. I will put this in the pile of must-make baked goods. Can’t beat the combination of Oreo cookies and cheesecake.
Thanks for the recipe! I baked these today and blogged it on my page. My students and coworkers loved em! Will definitely bake these bad boys again.
I love cookies, but was inspired by your idea to make these into truffles. I refrigerated my dough for a bit so it was firm enough to roll with my hands, rolled the balls in the crumbs, then froze them on a cookie sheet. I tasted the dough, which was amazing obviously, but not a frozen truffle (since it was 7 am when I wrapped them up). I presumed they would be awesome, so I wrapped up several for a friend the next day. She sent me a text message 1 hour after I left her house telling me that she snuck one… then another.. then another… and they are ALL gone now :)
Thanks for another wonderful recipe!!! I’ve never baked anything from BEB that wasn’t amazing!
I made these last night and after tasting the batter I had such high hopes because I LOVE cheesecake but I was so disappointed because all I could taste was the chocolate from the Oreo and nothing else. I’m almost tempted to try again leaving out the Oreo cookie part and see how they come out because the batter was delish.
these look so good, I am pretty sure I have to make these this weekend. Have to.
MMM….Just stumbled upon this. My favorite cookie and cheesecake is my favorite flavor. Bookmarked!
I always experiment eggless cookie recipe but my children usual pass in my baking :( & they usually have a sweettooth. This reciPe turned out yummy! My kids lOved gooey middle & melted Chico chiPs!!! Thank you for sharing is awesome recipe. I’ll plan to serve this on my sons first bday. Btw, my son calls these cookies ‘Oreo brownies’ b/c it’s that yummy!
Hi Michelle,
I tested a batch of these cookies out last weekend. I had almost the same issue that Ashley had, that they spreaded to much. I baked them in a convection oven, tried to adjust the time and temperature a little…but what the real problem that I found was the silicone mat I used to baked them on. My last tray that went in I switched to parchment paper (as noted in your recipe) and that made all the difference. Also, I put the dough in the fridge for about 10-15 mins to firm up a bit. Either way, it’s all very yummy! I find it strange that some cookies bake well with the silicone mats (Thick and Chewy Choc. Chip cookies) and some don’t…any thoughts?
Hi Lisa, That’s really interesting about the difference on a silicone mat vs. parchment paper. I’m not really sure what the reason would be. I use parchment paper exclusively for all of my baking.
I baked these over the week end and will be posting about them soon. Thanks for the recipe. I will link to yours when I do. In the meantime I have an award for your blog, which I really enjoy. http://nutsaboutfooditaly.blogspot.com/2011/04/sicilian-oven-roasted-artichokes-thanks.html
I would definitely be eating that out of the bowl! Those sound awesome!
Oh lawd!! This looks so good! I too love…CHEESECAKE ..ANYTHING!!!
Can’t wait to make these…
holy cow wow! this looks absolutely amazing! i’m surprised that you had any dough left to make cookies. i would’ve eaten them all before the oven was preheated :)
I so these cookies the other day and they looked so good that I made them yesterday. Everyone loved them!!! Thanks for posting this.
I made these this afternoon! My hubby said they were “horrible”… That’s code for “they’re really good and you’ll be lucky if I leave you any crumbs!”
I made these cookies this weekend – everyone loved them! deeelish!
I just made these & I doubled it as I needed more than one dozen.Instead of 2 dozen I have 4 dozen yummy cookies & I used only 1 cup of cookie crumbs.
I must cook this!!
I can’t believe it can exist something like that. It won’t be true until I taste it!!!
And it seems easy to make ;)
I tried making these delish cookies last night but the batter was more of a mousse consistency. I finally got them rolled into balls and covered them with the oreo crumbles but they all melted into 1 huge liquid mess in the oven! HELP! What did I do wrong?!
Hi Ashley, Hmm melted into liquid in the oven? If the dough was a mousse consistency it sounds like something may have been off. The dough isn’t too terribly soft, so I would double check the ingredient quantities and make sure your oven isn’t running hot.
i thought they “ran” a little too much for my taste, as well. they didn’t look like yours in the photo, but like splats. they were still AMAZING, just not very pretty.
Same experience. Mine kind of melted around the edges, while the centers didn’t quite cook through. They taste yummy, but something didn’t work right. I wonder if the proportions in the recipe available here are all correct. Maybe the flour should be more?
This would be something slightly out of the ordinary to take to a potluck and impress people.
Eggs or not..I am a total batter eater. Never been sick in all of my 35 years from raw eggs(oh no, I probably should have not said that)!
These sound ridiculously amazing
Yes, please! Oreos… cheesecake… cookies. yum
These look so tasty. I never had cheesecake cookies before. Can’t wait to try these out.
These look SOO yummy! I will definitely be making these soon :) Thanks for sharing!
Cookies & cheesecake together? Fantastic! These look absolutely scrumptious.
I think I am going to have to try making these for a brunch on Sunday! Will keep you posted if I do. Great idea.
This could become my favorite cookie of all time.
They’re great!
Thanks for the recipe!
The succession of interest in this post grew with each word in the title! Not only do these cookies look sensational, but the cheesecake you mentioned for your birthday must have been fabulous. Back to the recipe, it has a manageable ingredient list that appears to come together easily. Oreos have now been added to my shopping list.
Oreos, cheesecake, cookies, truffles…my head is spinning with visions of yumminess. These are divine. You’re been buzzed girlfriend!
Delish! Love the idea of truffles!
