Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

Step 1

In a big mixing bowl, add the soften butter, room temperature cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Mix with an electric hand mixer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Crush the oreos, we used our hands to do so. You dont need to crush them into fine crumbs, medium sized chunks are great.

Step 3

Add the crushed oreos and mix until combined.

Step 4

Add the flour and mix with a spatula until just combined.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in the fridge for at least an hour. We let the dough rest in the fridge overnight.

Step 6

Use a cookie scooper to scoop out the cookies or scoop the cookies with a tbsp, 1 ½ tablespoon at a time.

Step 7

Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 11-12 minutes.

Step 8

Remvoe them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
