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!
