Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

All-Purpose Flour: Use about 1 ½ cups for the perfect cookie base that provides structure without being too dense.
Baking Soda: Just 1 teaspoon helps these cookies rise nicely without making them too fluffy. try making Key Lime Macarons.
Salt: A pinch balances sweetness; trust me, it’s essential.
Unsalted Butter: Softened butter (about ½ cup) creates a rich flavor while ensuring cookies stay tender.
Granulated Sugar: Use ½ cup for sweetness; it helps achieve that irresistible chewy texture.
Brown Sugar: Another ½ cup adds moisture and depth of flavor; it’s like giving your cookies a warm hug.
Large Egg: One egg binds everything together perfectly; be sure it’s at room temperature for best results.
Vanilla Extract: A teaspoon enhances the flavors beautifully; choose pure vanilla for an authentic taste.
Oreo Cookies: Crush about 1 cup into chunks—these are the star ingredient that brings decadence to every bite.
Cream Cheese: Use 4 oz softened cream cheese for that delightful cheesecake flavor; it needs to be really soft for mixing.
Powdered Sugar: About 1 cup gives your cream cheese filling sweetness and silkiness—it’s like frosting but in cookie form!

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper so your cookies don’t stick like my dog on laundry day.

Mix Dry Ingredients Together: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This step ensures even distribution of all those dry ingredients—no one likes surprises in their cookies unless they’re chocolate chips!

Cream Butter and Sugars Together: In another large bowl, beat softened butter with both sugars until creamy and smooth; this should take about 2-3 minutes. Trust me—this is where magic begins!

Add Egg and Vanilla Extract : Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This step will leave your batter smelling heavenly—like an invitation to dive right in.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures : Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients while stirring gently until just combined. Overmixing will make tough cookies—and nobody wants those sad little things.

Add Oreos and Cream Cheese Frosting : Fold in crushed Oreos carefully along with softened cream cheese mixed with powdered sugar until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Just picture those decadent chunks of Oreo peeking out!

Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets : Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons onto prepared sheets about two inches apart. Trust me—they will spread like gossip at a family gathering.

Bake Until Golden Brown : Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft—resist the urge to eat them straight out of the oven!

Enjoy these Oreo cheesecake cookies warm or let them cool down if you can resist! Either way, they’re sure to leave everyone asking for seconds (and maybe even thirds). enjoy a slice of Guinness Chocolate Cake.

Now go ahead—you’ve got this! Happy baking!
