Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed in the dough.
2. Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
3. Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, rolling it into a ball and placing it on the prepared baking sheet. Space cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are just slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For Extra Oreos: Press a few more Oreo pieces into the tops of the cookies right before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for a cheesecake-like texture.
