OREO CHEESECAKE COOKIES
Ingredients
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
10 Oreo cookies chopped
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer beat the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add the flour and continue to mix together, just until fully combined. Add the chopped Oreos and gently fold together. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll the cookie dough into small balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Press the dough balls down to flatten slightly (the cookies will not spread much on their own). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown on the bottom. Place cookies on a cooling rack to cool for at least 5 minutes.
