- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature - 1 cup brown sugar, packed tightly - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1 large egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips - 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies) - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 5 cookies) - Butter Temperature: Use softened butter. This helps mix the dough easily. - Chocolate Types: I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips. They balance well with the sweetness. - Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened too. It blends better for a smooth filling. {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key to get the best cookies. While the oven heats, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup and prevents sticking. In a mixing bowl, take 8 oz of softened cream cheese. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these well with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Now, gently fold in 1/2 cup of crushed Oreo cookies. Set this tasty filling aside for later. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. Next, beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined. In another bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies. Now, take about a tablespoon-sized portion of cookie dough. Flatten it in your palm and place about one teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the dough edges over the filling and seal it carefully to form a ball. Arrange the stuffed cookie dough balls on the lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Look for lightly golden edges and just set centers. Once baked, let them cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. To get the best cookie texture, use room temperature butter. This helps the butter mix well with sugars. Cream it until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. For a chewy cookie, do not bake too long. The edges should be golden, while the center looks slightly soft. Overmixing can make cookies tough. After adding flour, mix just until combined. It’s okay if some flour shows. When you fold in chocolate chips and Oreos, use a gentle hand. This helps keep the dough light and fluffy. You can add more fun flavors to your cookies. Consider mixing in: - Chopped nuts for crunch - Different types of chocolate chips - Sprinkles for color These add-ins can make your cookies unique and exciting! Pro Tips Chill the Dough: For best results, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and ensures a thicker cookie. Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother cheesecake filling. Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake; they should be slightly undercooked in the center for a chewy texture. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to customize the cheesecake filling by adding flavors like lemon zest or chocolate chips for extra flair! {{image_4}} You can change the cheesecake filling to suit your taste. Try adding flavors like lemon, strawberry, or pumpkin. Just mix your choice of flavored yogurt or puree into the cream cheese. This gives a fun twist to your Oreo cheesecake stuffed cookies. You can also use different types of cheese, like ricotta or mascarpone, for a creamier filling. Get creative with your cookie mix-ins! Instead of just Oreos, try adding crushed candy bars, nuts, or even pretzels. You can also use white or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor. Each time, you create a new cookie experience. This makes your baking fun and exciting, and your cookies will always taste fresh. Making these cookies vegan or gluten-free is easy. For vegan cookies, swap the butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. For gluten-free, choose almond or coconut flour. Just make sure to adjust the amounts. These simple swaps let everyone enjoy these tasty treats. To keep your Oreo cheesecake stuffed cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. They can stay fresh for about 3 to 5 days at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, consider refrigerating them. They will last about a week in the fridge. Freezing these cookies is easy. Let them cool completely before you freeze them. Then, wrap each cookie in plastic wrap or foil. Place the wrapped cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy, simply thaw them at room temperature. To bring back the softness of your cookies, reheat them gently. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookies on a baking sheet and heat for about 5-7 minutes. You can also use the microwave. Heat each cookie for about 10-15 seconds. This warms them up and makes them soft again. Enjoy every gooey bite! Yes, you can make the cheesecake filling ahead. Just mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you make it early, let it sit at room temperature for a bit before using. These cookies last about a week at room temperature. Keep them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just thaw them before eating. Overmixing can make your cookies tough. Mix just until the dry ingredients blend in. The dough should be soft and a bit chunky. This way, your cookies stay chewy and delicious. Yes!
