5 Ingredient Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Description
This simple cookie recipe starts by beating softened cream cheese and butter until fluffy, creating a rich base. Sugar is incorporated for sweetness, then flour is mixed in gently to form the dough. Broken Oreo cookies are folded through to disperse chunks of cookie and cream throughout each bite.
The dough is chilled to firm it up, making it easier to shape. Cookies are scooped, formed into rounds, then pressed lightly before baking at 350°F until the edges turn lightly golden. They remain soft when removed from the oven, gaining structure while cooling on the baking sheet before transfer to a rack.
The result is a batch of cookies that balance the tang of cream cheese with chocolatey Oreos and a tender crumb. They make an easy treat requiring minimal ingredients and straightforward steps.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 8 tablespoons butter salted, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
- 10 Oreo cookie 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 :)
