Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup crushed Oreos (about 8 cookies)
Preparation Tips
• Soften the cream cheese and butter: Room temperature ingredients ensure a smooth, creamy dough.
• Chill the dough: Refrigerating for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.
• Don’t over-crush the Oreos: Leave some chunks for added texture and flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
Step 3: Shape the Cookies
Scoop the dough into 1 ½-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make-Ahead & Storage
The cookie dough can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze the dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the baking time.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cookies with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk for a delightful treat. They’re also perfect for cookie platters, gift boxes, or as a decadent dessert for Oreo and cheesecake lovers alike.
