I can think of nothing better than 4 things at this moment! It’s pretty simple….#1. Holidays #2. Oreos #3. Cream Cheese and #4. Cookies! Put those all together? You get the most tasty Holiday Oreo Cream Cheese Cookies! You’re welcome!
I mean…look at that lovely cookie dough! BTW…it’s awesome not baked, right out of the bowl too. I can’t help myself. I always want to eat that cookie dough before the end result, the actual cookie(s). Both ways, incredibly, insanely more delicious, than you would ever imagine.
Ironically, I have been wanting to make some cream cheese cookies like these. Perfect timing, because we are having our 4th annual Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap!
This is my 2nd year to be in the cookie swap and it’s pretty cool to share recipes and get a boat-load of awesome cookie recipes to add to your Holiday Cookie repertoire, right?
*Sigh* I love cookies. Everybody knows…cookies make the world go round. Especially Christmas time!
This cookie recipe was passed on to me from Emily Franceschini @ Painting It Purple. So thank you Emily for such a delicious cookie recipe! And thank you HOSTS of the Cookie Swap! Go check ’em out!
If you love, love, love anything Oreo, you gotta try these!
OREO Cheesecake No Bake Bars 🙂
- 3 ounces cream cheese add 4 ounces if you want more cream cheese flavor, softened
- 8 tablespoons butter salted, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 10-12 Oreo cookies crushed, some larger bits too
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Food coloring for the holidays
-
In a large bowl beat cream cheese, then beat in butter.
-
Add sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and mix.
-
Add a couple drops of a holiday food coloring for a festive touch
-
Add flour gradually and mix until well combined.
-
Fold in Oreos, then cover bowl and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Scoop out two tablespoons and roll into a 2 inch ball.
-
Place them on your cookie sheet and press down lightly.
-
Bake for 9-11 minutes – the edges will start to brown but the cookie will be soft. That's what you want. 🙂
-
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes, then carefully transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Delish!!
You had me at “cream cheese.” 🙂 These look yummy!
I know what you mean Sarah! Cream cheese definitely calls our names! 🙂
I am no expert in baking,so I am a little confused about the recipe. It calls for a tablespoon of vanilla in the ingredients but is not mentioned in the instructions.
So sorry Jeremy! Updated in the recipe, and thank you! Enjoy!!
Do you know how many a batch will make? I’m making these for a cookie exchange party and have to make 5 dozen.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try them! Hopefully the dough makes it from the bowl to the oven, because they sound delicious.
Hi Ashley, about 2 dozen and the cookie dough is super yummy! Happy Baking!
How many cookies does this recipe make?
2 dozen Cynamon 🙂
how many does this recipe make? I have to make 5 dozen for our cookie exchange but this doesn’t indicate how many per batch.
Hi Leisa! About 2 dozen! 🙂
I’m making these cookies for a cookie exchange party and I’m just wondering do I keep the Oreo filling? My second question is how do I get rid of the flour taste? Thanks
Hi Jana! If I’m understanding you right, the oreo filling is left in the cookies when you crunch or cut them up in bits. You don’t take the middle filling out. Also, if you want to add more cream cheese, for a more cream cheese flavor, you could add another ounce. The current recipe calls for 3 to 4 ounces. 🙂
Delicious! I baked them. Yummy!
Yay! 🙂
Should these cookies be refrigerated after baking?
Hi Lindy, no they don’t need to be. Happy Holidays!!
Trying to find the recipe HELP
Hi Tracy, it’s at the bottom of the page. Happy Holidays! 🙂 (I will email it to you as well.)
I made these with mint Oreos and wow absolutely amazing!!! Thank you fir sharing ❤️
You are very welcome and that sounds amazing with the mint oreos!! YUM!!!
I made the first batch and they were not pretty and green like yours, even though I added the green food coloring. I crushed up 12 Oreos which made the cookies kind of gray in color. I also baked them a lot longer than the time said because they were way too soft. I hope I did them right. I’m taking to a cookie exchange tonight. I wish they were prettier.
Anne, sorry to hear that! Several things, I think you may not have added enough green food coloring. I can’t see them, but it sounds like you may have mixed the cookie bits too much in with the dough and there should be large bits too. You should fold them in just until combined. The cookies are supposed to be soft, so just when the edges are starting to brown, you take them out of the oven. You don’t want to over-bake them, but hopefully everyone will love them when they taste them. To make them a little prettier, you could always drizzle some white chocolate on top with some sprinkles.
Hi!
Can I make the dough and refrigerate overnight if I want to bake them the next day?
Thank You!
Alana,
I don’t see why not? They should be just fine, just a little more time on baking like a minute or 2!
Great recipe! Have you ever tried freezing this dough and then baking a few weeks later? I’m Doing a dozen cookies and I want to get as much done ahead of time as possible. Thank you so much!
Hi Elizabeth, I have not frozen this dough, but I think as long as you go ahead and do everything that you would do as if you were baking the cookies, just go ahead and make the cookie dough balls the size you want your cookies to be using a cookie scoop. Place the cookies close together, but not touching on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and let them freeze for about 30 minutes. Once the cookies are hard and mostly frozen, pull them out of the freezer and you’re ready to place them in a ziplock bag until ready to bake. Depending on how you bag them up, I like to put wax paper in between layers, 3 high, but make sure the are well sealed. 🙂 Let us know how it turns out if you do! 🙂
These were amazing! Chewy and creamy at the same time! I also love how it just takes a few simple ingredients. I have tried this recipe with different add-ins and it always works great! I did chopped dried strawberries and dyed the dough pink for my kid’s school valentine’s party and they were a hit. I have also tried chocolate chips with success. Use your imagination and this will be your go-to cookie recipe for any occasion. It’s a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing it!
So thrilled you liked them Andrew!! The valentine cookies you made with the additions sound really good! I’m going to have to give those a whirl! 🙂 Happy 2018!
