Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

 

 I love making cookies for my friends. It is so much fun and I love making them happy. My great friend Tami Told me that she would take these over the chocolate chip pudding cookies that everyone loves so much. Which by the way I have made for her before and will be posting the recipe here later. When someone asked me what these were on face book she said a little bit of Heaven. She said they were even super soft and yummy the next day. I thought they were pretty dang good too and will be enjoying them again soon.

 

                                                                                            

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

Yield: About 1 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Bake Time: 12 to 15 minutes
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and well-combined.
3. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix until the ingredients are well-combined. Add the flour and mix on low until the flour is incorporated. Stir in the mini chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
4. Place the Oreo cookie crumbs in a small bowl. Scoop the cookies into about 1½ to 2″ balls and then roll in the cookie crumbs. Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are slightly puffed.
5. Cool on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
