How to Make Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cookies

Before we get started, let’s gather the tools we need to make this recipe!

Tools You'll Need:

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your cookies won't stick and makes cleanup a breeze.

Step 2: Crush Those Oreos

Grab about 18 Oreo cookies (remove the cream centers if you like) and let's get smashing! You can achieve crumbs by using a food processor or, for a little kitchen therapy, place them in a plastic bag and give them a good whack with a rolling pin. Set these crumbs aside for later.

Step 3: Creamy Dreamy Butter & Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, we're going to create a heavenly mixture. Using a hand mixer, cream together the 1 stick softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Beat them until they're light and fluffy. It's a beautiful sight, I promise!

Step 4: Egg & Vanilla

Once your butter and sugar are nicely mixed, it's time to add an egg and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the party. Mix it up until they're well combined. This is where the magic happens.

Step 5: Dry Meets Wet

In another bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Gradually sift these dry ingredients into your wet mixture and fold them together with a spatula. Watch the dough come together into cookie goodness.

Step 6: Fold in the Goodies

We're not done yet. Gently fold in the 5 ounces softened cream cheese, half of the crushed Oreos, and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips. The cream cheese will add a lovely creaminess, while the white chocolate chips bring a delightful sweetness.

Step 7: Scoop & Bake

Now, it's time to shape your cookies. Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to take scoopfuls of dough and roll them into balls. Place these dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Slightly flatten each cookie and top them with more crushed Oreo cookies.

Step 8: Baking Bliss

Pop these cookies into your preheated oven and let them bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them. You'll know they're ready when the edges turn a golden hue, but the centers remain soft and irresistible.

Step 9: Cool & Enjoy

Patience is a virtue, especially when cookies are involved. Allow your cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, it's time to savor your creation. These Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cookies are perfect with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. Enjoy every sweet bite!

Yield:

  • This recipe makes approximately 24 scrumptious cookies.

How to Store:

  • After baking, allow the cookies to cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container or plastic zipper bag.

  • Placing a piece of bread in the container with the cookies can help maintain their softness.

  • These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to one week, but I doubt they'll last that long!

Substitutions & Variations:

  • Gluten-Free Option: If you or someone you're baking for needs a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and gluten-free Oreo cookies.

  • Double Chocolate: For an extra indulgent twist, add some cocoa powder to the dough and use dark chocolate chips in place of white chocolate.

FAQs:

Q: Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time?

A: Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 48 hours. This is perfect for planning your baking around your schedule.

Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough?

A: Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Just shape the dough into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container. When you're ready to bake, no need to thaw; simply bake a little longer.

Q: Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?

A: While full-fat cream cheese lends the creamiest texture, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese if you prefer a slightly lighter option.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use parchment paper on your baking sheet for easy cleanup and non-stick results.

  • For consistent cookie sizes, a cookie scoop is your best friend.

  • Don't overbake; these cookies are best when they're soft in the middle.

  • Get creative with toppings! Crushed Oreos, a drizzle of chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt can take these cookies to the next level.
