Ingredients & Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Oreo cheesecake cookies. Scroll down to the recipe card for full ingredients list and instructions.

The cream cheese and powdered sugar combine for the filling. I have not tried using dairy free cream cheese or a low carb powdered sugar. For the version without the filling, try these Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Use cold butter right from the fridge for the cookie dough. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking. I have not tried dairy free butter in this recipe, but these cookies may spread even less.

Both granulated sugar and brown sugar sweeten these cookies. If using coconut sugar, the cookies will be slightly darker in color.

Eggs help bind these cookies together. I have not tried using an egg substitute in this specific recipe, but I have had success substituting ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce for 1 egg. So, this recipe would need ½ cup applesauce in place of the 2 eggs. For more tips, see these Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work well. Other flours such as almond flour and coconut flour cannot be substituted.

Baking soda helps these cookies rise a little bit while baking.

A little vanilla extract adds a great homemade flavor.

Any type of chocolate chips will work! Use mini or regular. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate work well. In addition, white chocolate chips or chocolate chunks are great options.

Both gluten free Oreos and regular Oreos work well. Additionally, Double Stuff Oreos can be used. Feel free to use any flavor of Oreos. If you have leftovers, try these Oreo Brownies or this Oreo Cheesecake!

Taste & Texture

These Oreo cheesecake cookies are buttery, sweet and chocolaty. They taste like classic chocolate chip cookies with Oreos mixed in. The vanilla cheesecake filling is gooey and creamy!

The texture is soft baked and pillowy. The edges are very slightly golden and the Oreos add a little crunch.

How to Make

Step 1

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

First, make cheesecake filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until completely creamy.

Step 3

Scoop out 1 teaspoon sized balls of cheesecake filling. Place on lined pan. Repeat for all mixture. Then, place pan in freezer while making cookies.

Step 4

Next, make the cookies. In a clean bowl of your stand mixer, add cold butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.

Step 5

Add in eggs and vanilla. Stir until combined.

Step 6

Add in flour and baking soda. Stir until thick dough is formed.

Step 7

Fold in chocolate chips and crushed Oreos. Remove cheesecake filling from freezer.

Step 9

Scoop out a smaller ball of dough and flatten it. Place it on top of the cheesecake ball.

Step 10

Use hands to fully enclose cheesecake ball with cookie dough.

Step 11

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just barely set in the middle.

Step 12

Lastly, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on pan before carefully removing to a cooling rack.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Use softened cream cheese. Cold cream cheese will not cream together with the powdered sugar. If you have some leftover, try these Mini Cheesecakes!

Use cold butter right from the fridge. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much.

Beat butter and sugars until completely creamy. This process usually takes 2 to 3 minutes in a stand mixer. Beat until no clumps of butter remain.

Serve Oreo cheesecake cookies once cool enough to handle. They are gooey and slightly fragile right out of the oven.
