Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
- A few drops of red food coloring (optional)
Cookie Dough
- 1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and mix thoroughly until fully combined. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos and add red food coloring if desired for a festive touch.
- Assemble Cookies: Flatten a tablespoon of refrigerated sugar cookie dough in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the prepared cheesecake mixture in the center. Then, top it with another flattened tablespoon of cookie dough and carefully seal the edges around the filling to encase it completely.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
- Cool & Enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delicious Oreo Cheesecake Cookies!

- Be sure to seal the cookie dough edges properly to prevent the cheesecake filling from leaking during baking.
