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!

Holiday Oreo Cream Cheese Cookies
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
-
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.
How many cookies does this recipe make?
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.
2 dozen Cynamon 🙂
Hi Leisa! About 2 dozen! 🙂
Hi Ashley, about 2 dozen and the cookie dough is super yummy! Happy Baking!
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.)
