These Oreo cheesecake cookies are the ultimate cookie for those who love cookies and cream and cheesecake! It only takes 7 ingredients to make these tender, Oreo-encrusted cheesecake cookies.
I love Oreo’s (cookies and cream) and a classic plain cheesecake. Combining those two flavors into an Oreo cheesecake cookie is seriously a dream. The base of the cookie is essentially the cheesecake part — it’s the creaminess and tang of the cheesecake flavor. Then, on the outside, you get the cookies and cream flavor from the crushed Oreo’s along with melty chocolate chips throughout the cheesecake-based dough. Honestly, it’s truly one of the best (and easiest) cookies to make! If you’re a cookies and cream fanatic, you’re going to want to add this to your list.
Baking Tips
- Do NOT skip the chilling. This is unfortunately a must, but because the cookies are so fragile and don’t have egg in them, they need to set up in the refrigerator otherwise they’re just going to be an oily, goopy mess.
- Try not to handle the cookies too much with your hands after they’ve come out of the refrigerator. Use a gentle touch when rolling them in the cookie crumbs. The heat of your hands will start to melt the cookies and they’ll lose their shape.
- Do not use the top rack of your oven for this. These can burn fairly quickly due to the fat content so you’ll definitely want to use the middle rack.
What is the texture like?
Glad you asked because it seems like there are varying results on these Oreo cheesecake cookies. While I’ve done numerous tests, results will vary based on how you measure ingredients and your oven! These cookies and cream cheesecake cookies are extremely tender, soft, and ever-so slightly crispy on the edges. They’re fragile cookies because there is not much binding to hold them together, but trust they come together!
Storage Instructions
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
Love cookies and cream and looking for more recipes with Oreo’s?
While I love a good cookies and cream milkshake, I implore you to make my Oreo mug cake and crush these Oreo cheesecake cookies on top. Oh my goodness – the most epic cookies and cream treat on this planet! Of course, cookies and cream ice cream is a classic and a must as well.

- 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 dough balls were slightly bigger so it took 20 minutes to bake).

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.
