Oreo Cheesecake Cookies


So, in light of the 20 or so pounds that I have put on since I last posted, I gave these cookies away.  All of them.  Well, except for four.  One for me, and the rest for my hungry puppies.  These cookies were yummy.  They were something a little different, but fun.  Don't be alarmed by the lack of any leavening agents in the recipe.  The cookies turn out just fine.

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until they are well combine.  Beat in the sugar and vanilla extract.  Stir in the flour until incorporated, then stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Scoop the dough into 1 inch balls, then roll in the Oreo crumbs to cover the dough ball completely.  Place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 12 minutes until the cookies are slightly puffed, and the edges are golden.  Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.  Drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate.  Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
