Soft, decadent and tasty cookies with crispy Oreo pieces inside: these Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
are a dream come true! They combine two of our favourite desserts: cookies and cheesecake, in a very tasty way. The best is that they are also super easy to make!
Why is this recipe good
These cookies are quick and simple. They are not that beautiful but are so tasty! The recipe calls for just few easy to find ingredients. You don't need special tools and techniques, it is all quick and easy. You can even make the recipe together with your kids! They will love these cookies: so soft and fluffy, with a lot of cream cheese inside. Like a hybrid between chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake.
What ingredients to choose
This recipe is made with cream cheese, Oreo cookies, butter, all purpose flour, sugar, vanilla extract and one egg. You may find plenty of 5-ingredient Oreo Cheesecake Cookies around internet, but I think the egg a very important addition to ensure a perfect final result. You know that majority of baked cheesecakes are made with eggs which improve the texture of the dessert.

Recipe tips
Making these cookies is quite easy but it is even easier if you follow the tips below:
Make sure the cream cheese and the egg are at room temperature before adding them to the mixture. This will make it easier to mix the dough.
These are drop cookies as the dough is too soft to make balls out of it. Use two spoons to shape them and drop them into the pan easily.
Bake the cookies at the upper half of the oven, until their bottoms start becoming brown.
Serving suggestions
The Oreo Cheesecake Cookies can be served at room temperature or refrigerated. In my view they are best cold, just right from the fridge, like a real cheesecake. You can try both ways and decide how you prefer them.
