I’ve been on some kind of weird shoe kick lately. I mean, they say a girl can’t have too many pairs of shoes, but I shouldn’t really fall into that category because the only pairs of shoes you can see on me on a regular basis are my black $5 Old Navy flip flops. Yeah, I’m not so much of a “dressy” professional. I work for the government, we dress mediocre. Some people come into the office in Batman pajama pants. NO JOKE. If you want to see hilarity when it comes to “casual Friday’s,” you should come visit me at work. Never ceases to amaze me what goes through people’s minds when Friday rolls around and they decide to show up in pajamas or JORTS. I wish I could make this up.
I’m like a shoe fiend lately because do you know how hard it is to find the perfect purple shoe? I’m trying to find “the one” for my wedding day (I shouldn’t kid myself, I really will probably only have them on for 0.02 seconds and then throw white flip flops on so why am I even bothering with this hunt? I think it’s a fun challenge). In the midst of “finding the one,” I just so happened to have stumbled across many other shoes that are totally not for the occasion but are more for the “omg these are SOOO cute” occasion.
Long story, short: I bought 3 pairs of platform wedges at Target this past weekend. I bought one pair in the store and proceeded to run home and get online to see what other colors they had online and ordered 2 more. Oh, and you know what? Apparently they said they shipped it out on Sunday but I checked tracking today and UPS says they haven’t even received the package from them and only a label has been created.
I’m a tad bit worried because those wedges are SEXY. And my feetsies want them, now! I hope they aren’t lost (I like how I’m totally jumping to conclusions right now – what did we say about anxiety last week? ha).
Oh, and I still have not found “the shoes” for my wedding. Hilarious. Bought 3 pairs of shoes that deem useless for my big day. Oh well :) I have cute shoes to wear to work now, right?
Ok, so these cookies. It’s no secret that I love Oreo’s in virtually any dessert. I’m happily addicted to cookies & creme milkshakes (recipe coming soon), I love Oreo cheesecake bars, I love cookies & creme rice krispies, and now, I’m in love with Oreo cheesecake COOKIES. There’s a subtle hint of cheesecake after the first few bites but then you’re hit with the Oreo’s and the mini chocolate chips hidden in the batter. Oh my, this cookie is a definite winner and I LOVE how it’s encrusted in Oreo cookie crumbs.
Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 ounces (85 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) flour
- ½ cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (160 g) crushed Oreo's, it took about roughly 10 Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they're fine crumbs. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until well incorporated.
- Gently mix in the flour and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Let chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop the dough and put it in your hands to roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the Oreo crumbs and cover the dough well.
- Place on cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart, and repeat until all the dough has been used up.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes on the middle rack – do not do upper rack! (I had to bake mine for longer because my balls were a lot bigger so it took 20 minutes to bake).
- Remove from oven when you see that the edges are getting browned. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
These look fabulolso! :)
these look soooo good! I love everything with Oreos.
Oreos are the best!! a package lasts about 2.8 seconds in my house – I always tell myself “just one more” which turns into an entire row (yikes!). So naturally I like any dessert that you can shove those bad boys into ;)
I work for the government too and I am contantly shocked at what people wear. My department is actually business casual but I’ve seen some bad stuff around other parts. Normally it’s just poor taste and stuff my mom wore in the early 90’s.
Good luck on finding “the” purple shoes! :)
SERIOUSLY?!!! This is hilarious that you bought so many of the same pair of shoes. No judging, I just think it is too funny. I love sexy shoes, and will wear them for 5 minutes, from the car to the dinner table for date night. That is about it:) but I still have a closet full of them! These cookies would be great for a dessert on date night.
I love that you are getting purple shoes for your wedding! And I may have to run out to target to get some wedges myself!;) These cookies sound phenomenal!! Anything with oreos is a winner to me and then to add cheesecake too-over that top amazing!!
yum! these remind me exactly of the oreo cheesecake cookies i made last month! I love the combo of oreos and cream cheese. you can’t go wrong!
These cookies really look amazing! The recipe is super easy – really gonna try these out soon! Good luck with the shoe hunt and enjoy every minute of it!! xxx
Um… I can’t buy oreos any more, because my husband says I’m not allowed. I tend to eat the whole bag of them too fast and then complain about a stomach ache… maybe for my girls weekend I can sneak a package and he won’t know…
I had to find the perfect shoes too – I found them about a week before the wedding! Navy blue, white polka dots and a yellow stripe – matched the navy/yellow theme PERFECTLY.
Oh man, I felt the same way you did, Julie! I have so many “fancy” pairs of flats and heels and boots but nothing plain to wear with my loud & crazy-printed dresses or clothes. So, I went on the hunt for a “neutral” shoe, with requirements that it couldn’t be too boring, blend in with my skin, or look grandma-ish. Instead, I came home with two new pairs of boots and six pair of flats, none of which were neutral. Sigh.
Back to the cookies, they rock! Cheesecake cookies are so delicious and the Oreo crumble around them make them pretty and yummy. Love!
Pinned! I think I’m in love.
