These are the best oreo cheesecake cookies!

I love creating oreo cookies, so I used my chocolate chip oreo cookie for the base and they turned out perfect!

They are filled with an easy cream cheese filling and stuffed with tons of chopped Oreos.

The cream cheese filling is what makes these cookies so delicious and completely irresistible!

ingredient notes

Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below!

ingredients needed to make the oreo cream cheese cookies.
  • Oreos: I used standard store-bought Oreos for this recipe. You will want to chop them into small pieces, no need to scrape out the filling.
  • Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese works best for this recipe.
  • Chocolate chips: I used semi-sweet but you could use milk chocolate or dark instead.

step-by-step instructions

Here is how to make and bake these easy homemade cookies. You will need two baking trays lined with parchment paper. Make sure to use room temperature ingredients!

STEP ONE: Make the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, use a spoon to stir together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Scoop 16 heaping one teaspoon ball onto a parchment-lined tray and place it in the freezer to chill solid.

STEP TWO: Make the oreo crumb. In a medium bowl, stir the crushed Oreos into the melted chocolate chips and oil with a spoon. Place the bowl in the freezer to chill until ready to use.

STEP THREE: Cream the butter and sugar. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with the paddle until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

STEP FOUR: Mix in the wet ingredients. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until just combined. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula if needed.

STEP FIVE: Mix in the dry ingredients. Fold in the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined, then fold in the oreo crumb.

STEP SIX: Fill the cookies. Use a large cookie scoop (roughly 3 tablespoons) to scoop a ball of dough. With the dough still in the cookie scoop, press one of the frozen cream cheese balls into the center.

Step SEVEN: Seal in the filling. Mold the dough back over the top of the cream cheese ball to seal it.

STEP EIGHT: Chill the cookies. Place the filled cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray spaced 3 inches apart. Freeze the dough until it feels solid, about 15-20 minutes. Then bake the cookies at 350 F/180 C for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden brown but the centers are still gooey and slightly raised.

expert baking tips

  • Use a kitchen scale: Baking with a scale makes baking so much easier and ensures perfect, consistent end results every time!
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This creates a fully blended dough that will result in a uniform texture and even baking.
  • The dough can be quite sticky when you are folding it over the cream cheese filling. You may want to keep a damp towel nearby to wipe your hands.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, chill the dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Then use a spoon to scoop the dough into 3 tablespoon-sized balls and press the filling into the center as instructed. If the dough becomes too sticky to handle, let it chill in the fridge a bit longer.

faq's

Do these cookies need to be refrigerated?

No! The cream cheese has some sugar in it and has been baked so they are fine to store at room temperature.

Can I skip the filling?

Yes! You don't have to fill them with the cheesecake filling but the oreo and cream cheese is the best combo and you will definitely miss out!

storage & freezing

Store these cheesecake cookies at room temperature in a sealed bag, container, or wrapped in plastic wrap on a baking tray. They will stay fresh for 2-3 days.

To freeze: Assemble the cookie dough with the filling then place each ball on a lined baking tray. Freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. You can freeze the dough for up to 1-3 months.
