Cheesecake Stuffed Oreo Cookies
I’ve been on a gourmet cookie kick lately, and these Oreo cheesecake cookies are the latest addition to the list. They feature a soft, Oreo-crammed dough with a creamy cheesecake filling, and they are magical.
Why you will love them:
Fun, gourmet cookies that are surprisingly easy to make. Packed full of pops of Oreo cookies (I also include tips for avoiding gray cookies!). Very simple dough that chills for just 30 minutes. All the flavors of Oreo cheesecake, without having to wait for it to set up!
If you’ve never stuffed a cookie before, definitely check out the how-to video I’ve included in the recipe card below before starting. The process is very easy, but sometimes it helps to have a visual first.
What You Need
There are 13 ingredients in this recipe, but most are pantry staples that you’ll already have on hand. Let’s go over the important ones first.
Oreo cookies. Break your Oreos into small pieces before adding them. You could use a mallet or rolling pin to do this, but I like to just use my hands. If you decide to try this recipe with my homemade Oreo cookies, please let me know how it goes! Corn starch. This helps the Oreo cheesecake cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. It also makes them soft and tender! Cream cheese. As with my cheesecake recipe, I only recommend full fat, block style cream cheese here. It should be softened before starting. Sour cream. This adds tang and depth of flavor to our cheesecake filling. You could substitute full fat Greek yogurt. Chocolate chips. I prefer mini chocolate chips here, which add a nice accent to the cookies without overwhelming the dough. Where I live, mini chocolate chips are always semisweet, so that’s what I recommend you use too!
SAM’S TIP: If you want to avoid gray cookies, break the Oreos over a separate bowl to catch the crumbs or sift the Oreo pieces with a fine mesh strainer before adding them to the dough. This won’t change the flavor of your cookies, but it will make them look extra pretty. I do this with my cookies and cream rice krispie treats and Oreo pie too! Remember, this is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why. For the full recipe please scroll down to the bottom of the post!
How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Cheesecake Filling
Oreo Cookie Dough
SAM’S TIP: I like to add the dry ingredients in 3-4 parts. If you add them all at once, you will have a tough time mixing everything together.
Assembly
SAM’S TIP: I typically leave my cheesecake dollops in the freezer and just grab one at a time for assembly. They do tend to melt pretty quickly, so I recommend you do this too! Love gourmet cookies?
