Cheesecake-inspired desserts—like my pumpkin cheesecake cookies and cheesecake brownies are some of the most popular recipes on Cambrea Bakes!
These Oreo cheesecake cookies are made for Oreo lovers because they are stuffed with chopped Oreos. The cheesecake filling in the center is the best part and couldn’t be easier to make!
If you love Oreos without the cream cheese filling, try my Oreo-flavored cookies.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Oreos: I tested these Oreo cheesecake cookies with classic Oreo cookies, but you could also switch them up for one of the specialty flavors. You won’t need a whole pack for this recipe, so save them and make my cookies and cream rolls next!
Cream cheese: I prefer full-fat cream cheese for this recipe.
Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar will work.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Make the cream cheese filling. Combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Oreo crumbs until smooth—scoop 26 small balls of the filling onto one of the prepared baking sheets.
Chill the filling in the freezer until frozen solid.
Step 2: Cream the butter and sugar. In a large mixing bowl or with an electric hand mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Mix in the wet ingredients. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Step 4: Mix in the dry ingredients. Mix in the all-purpose flour, crushed Oreos, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until just combined.
Step 5: Fill the cookies. Scoop the dough with a cookie scoop. With the dough still in the scoop, press one of the frozen cream cheese balls into the center. Mold the dough around it to seal it in, then place it on the tray.
Step 6: Bake! Roll the top and sides of the cookie dough balls in the Oreo crumbs and place them back on the tray. Chill the tray in the freezer for 3-4 hours minimum, overnight is best!
Then bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown. Let the tray cool on a wire rack before removing it.
Baking Tips
Use a kitchen scale. Baking with a scale is much more accurate than cup measurements. To convert this recipe, click the “metric” button next to the ingredients title on the recipe card. If you do not have a scale, use a spoon to fluff the flour first, then spoon it into your measuring cup.
Use room temperature ingredients. This creates a fully blended dough that will result in a uniform texture and even baking.
Save the extra Oreo cookies. You will use roughly 1 sleeve of Oreo cookies for this recipe. Use the rest to make my Oreo whoopie pies!
FAQs
Store leftover cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can keep the raw dough balls in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
No! The cream cheese contains sugar and has been baked so they are fine to store at room temperature.
Yes! You don’t have to fill them with the cheesecake filling, they will be regular Oreo cookies without it.
Sure! You can also make my Oreo cookie cake which is perfect for a crowd!
Put the cookies in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into crumbs. You can also use a food processor!

It says to chill in freezer before baking..is that right? So they should be frozen, not just cold before baking?
Yes! They should be baked straight from the freezer.
Can you make small ones? How much would you bake them?
Sure! I would check them 2-3 minutes before the indicated baking time.
