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.
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.
1 cup crushed Oreo's
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3 ounces cream cheese
Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until well incorporated.
1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gently mix in the flour and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
1 cup flour, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
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.
