Recipe: Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

I stumbled upon this recipe via pinterest a couple of months ago and just knew I had to try it! Of course if you visit pinterest and see the photo that the original creator of this recipe posted you'll notice that mine looks not quite as pretty but I'm pretty sure they turned out just as delicious! Seriously, these were gone in a matter of days. I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I did!

Recipe: Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Prep Time: 5-10 minutes     Cook Time: 12 - 15 minutes     Servings: 20 cookies (approx.)



Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl combine butter and cream cheese until well blended, it should be creamy. Add in sugar & vanilla, once well combined slowly add in flour until well incorporated. Place Oreos in a ziplock bag and mash with your hands or a rolling pin until they're crumbled. The original recipe says to roll the dough into 1in. balls and dip in oreo mixture. I added my cookie crumbs to my dough mixture because it was easier. Do whichever you prefer =). Place dough on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1inch apart. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the cookies are slightly browned and puffed. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transfering to a wire rack, then cool completely. Store in an air tight container.
