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).
- Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to cool completely on a wire rack.

I am a shoe person and an Oreo person! I love these cookies :)
I’m a sucker for anything Oreo & these sound amazing! I hear ya on the shoes…I saw those at Target in Greg but they didn’t have my size. :(
Oh my, I could get on board with these too! Can’t wait to see the cute shoes you bought! Good luck finding the right wedding shoe :)
Dude, I’m totally sporting the old navy flip flops too. I wear them until the heal area gets a hole in them. Yeah, I’m pretty bad.
I’m so happy for your whole shoe shopping spree though! And I hope you get to find “the one” soon.
And these cookies – holy moly! They look crazy good! Looks like I’ll have to stock up on some oreos ASAP!
