Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Fact: I absolutely love playing around in the kitchen! Sometimes my crazy cooking experiments don’t work out the way I plan… But other times… THEY DO. I obviously love it when that happens. It makes all the dirty dish disasters worth it 😉
I whipped up these thick and chewy cookies and cream cookies last week and WHOA did they deliver. These soft, chewy, 5-ingredient Oreo cheesecake cookies turned out exactly the way I had hoped. They’re all cookie (think crispy edges and chewy center), but taste as smooth and creamy as cheesecake. They’re totally addicting!
Question: Are you a fan of kitchen experiments? Or do you prefer to stick straight to the recipe?
Ok. So back to the cookies! This recipe is a total gem. Cookies that taste like cheesecake?! I mean, yes-yes-yes all the way home! The fact that they’re a breeze to bake up and only require 5 ingredients only makes the deal sweeter 🙂 I am a huge fan of 5 ingredient recipes! Sometimes minimalism is best.
These cookies do need to cool completely before being removed from the tray, so be sure to have your patience hat ready 😉 It’s so hard not to eat them all straight from the oven – I know! But I promise you these babies are worth the wait. Also, these cookies stay fresh for up to 4 days! Not that they’ll last that long… I suggest doubling or even tripling this recipe if you’re serving a crowd. I made a quadruple batch for nieces slumber party last week (14 boy CRAZY, funny, very loud teenage girls – oy) and they devoured every last one… and then requested we make another few batches together. Of course I caved and said yes. 15 girls in a kitchen —> fun and bonkers all at once.

5 Ingredient Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 10 Oreo cookies, broken into pieces
Instructions
- In the body of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the sugar and beat well.
- Add in flour, a small bit at a time, beating in on low speed, just until incorporated. Fold in oreos until evenly distributed.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes, and up to 2 hours.
- 30 minutes prior to baking, preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out 2 tablespoon sized balls of dough, roll them into rounds, and place them on the cookie sheet. Lightly press down on each cookie.
- Place pan in the oven to bake for 10-11 minutes, or until *just golden at the edges. They will still be very soft when you remove them from the oven - that's a good thing!
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 full minutes, then very carefully transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy 🙂
Hi guys….
These are on my to try list….
Regarding the biscuit versus cookie textures…I don’t believe anything was missed. Just a difference in measuring. Some bakers scoop flour right out of the bag (you pack more in the cup) and i prefer to weigh 4.5 oz per cup for accuracy. It’s a great idea for recipe developers to use weights so bakers don’t get different results due to their measuring style.
Some people use wet measures (pYrex cup) to measure sugar….instead of dry measuring cups…and even butter can be measured improperly if not cutting from the stick and using heaping tablespoons.

Hi!! Yes-they looked like the picture and even matched the texture you described. The actual taste was just that of a sweet Oreo biscuit (still delicious!). We double checked our ingredients as we thought we maybe did something wrong but we did not find anything we missed. Thanks for the reply!!
These look just like cookies and cream, love!
These are good but taste slightly more biscuit-like than a cookie. The texture is no where near like a cookie, so just imagine a biscuit stuffed with Oreos when making these.
Hi Kristina! I’m glad you liked the cookies. I am however concerned yours came out more like a biscuit. I re-tested these this evening and they were very much cookie like; chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. Did yours look like the photos? xoxo
Umm sorry but how much does this recipe make?
Hi Sophia. No need to apologize. This recipe makes around 2 dozen cookies.
Add 1 TBSP Vanilla to the recipe, this will enhance the flavor. I also made them with mint Oreos (other flavors would work great too) and added green food coloring for a festive feel this holiday season.
I make these every year for my new students at open house! They always love them!
Love that mint Oreo idea for the holidays. I also added vanilla and some good salt. They’re in the oven right now. (: Thx for this recipe. I tend to do difficult recipes so this is a great break. My kids will love them I’m sure!
I can’t wait to try them! Yum!
you are ruining my wedding diet with these and I am NOT happy.
… (yes I am)
Hold me.
Oreos…cheesecake and cookies in the same sentence? And only 5 ingredients! I am IN LOVE! Pinned!
Thank you, girl! Hope you’re off to a great Monday 🙂
How many cookies does this recipe make?
The recipe says it makes 2 dozen (24) but it really depends on the size you want your cookies to be
Could i use other things like gram crackers instead of oreas??
These look amazing, love how easy they are to make!!
YUM! These look absolutely amazing! They sound so creamy and crunchy with those Oreo bits!
