So good!
Kim Lange says
Definitely the minty oreos. If you did a maybe 1/4 teaspoon mint extract or both, but mint goes a long way. Hope you enjoy!
Jaclyn R Hartleip says
Wanting to add some minty flair to my batch- maybe mint oreos and a bit of mint extract?
Kim Lange says
Sealed container or ziplock bag after they have cooled for 3-4 days. Enjoy!
Maura PARK says
How can you store the baked cookies?
Kim Lange says
I don't know if you could honestly. Most cookie doughs you can though.If you do let us know how it works out. Happy Holidays! xo
Rebecca says
Can I make this dough and then freeze for a few days before baking?
Kim Lange says
Depending on how big you make them, depends how many, but you should be able to get 2 dozen if you doing a tablespoon Danielle. Hope you enjoy!
Danielle says
How many can you expect to make with this recipe? Sorry if it was already asked
Kim Lange says
No, you leave them in. 🙂
Laurie Peterson says
I'm assuming you scrape the cream out of the oreo before crumbling in?
Kim Lange says
Hi Kristyn. I don't know about the convection oven with these cookies. It sounds like your dough may have been too soft and needed to chill about 10-15 minutes. Sorry it didn't work out for you, I'm not familiar with using the rolling pin method myself, although I've heard of others using it.
Kristyn says
My cookies turned out flat. I followed the recipe except I did convection bake at 350. I also ended up “quickly” softening the cream cheese and butter by rolling pin. Did this make them flat?
Kim Lange says
Yes you could freeze them. 🙂
Lauri D says
I’m wondering if these cookies can be baked then frozen?
Kim Lange says
Depending on how big you make them, depends how many, but you should be able to get 2 dozen if you doing a tablespoon.
Lauren Sanchez says
Hi I need 60 cookies how many dose this make?

Brenda mask says
Looks delish! How many does the recipe make? I need 24 for a cookie swap.
Kim Lange says
I love the idea of adding mint filled Oreo cookies in place of regular Oreos. So glad everyone enjoyed them! Thank you so much! 🙂
Suzanne says
I made the Oreo Cream cheese cookies with mint filled Oreo cookies! They were a huge hit! I was lucky enough to eat one before the rest were gone!
Kim Lange says
Desiree, no I personally have not, but yes it would be delicious! I would try 1/4 teaspoon peppermint, as the peppermint flavor can be overwhelming if not careful! Happy Holidays and enjoy!!
Desiree says
Have you ever tried this recipe with peppermint extract in place of the vanilla? In theory it seems like it has the potential to be delicious...
Kim Lange says
Lori, airtight container or ziplock bag works as well. 🙂 Happy Holidays and hope you enjoy!
Lori says
How should these be stored overnight? Fridge? Airtight container? Other?
Kim Lange says
Hi Stephanie! I would not do over 1/4 teaspoon, if you don't want to overpower the cookies. Happy Holidays!! 🙂
Stephanie says
If I want to make them with mint extract, how much do you think would work? I don’t want to overpower the recipe.
Kim Lange says
Hi Daisy. I'm so sorry they didn't work out for you. They don't require baking soda or baking powder though. I've made them several times and never had issues. I am wondering if you chilled your dough? They do require it.
Daisy says
Hmmm. They sounded delicious however we commented about being concerned about no leavening agent in the recipe and sadly they came out very flat with brown edges - pancake Oreos 🙁
Kim Lange says
Hi Judy, yes you could. Enjoy!
Judy says
Can this recipe be doubled?
Anonymous says
Can margarine he be substituted successfully for the butter? Anyone tried it?
Kim Lange says
It helps the dough from spreading out as much, it's a soft dough, but you could make them anytime ahead of time. These would be good for 3-4 days.
Kathleen says
Hi, I need to make probably 16 dozen for 2 parties, what is the reason for refrigerating 1 hour before baking? I cook with cream cheese and never refrigerated prior to baking before. Time will be for sure an issue. How many days will these be good for? Thank you!
ChocolaTess says
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!
TP says
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!
ChocolaTess says
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! 🙂
Elizabeth says
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!
ChocolaTess says
Alana,
I don't see why not? They should be just fine, just a little more time on baking like a minute or 2!
Alana Froio says
Hi!
Can I make the dough and refrigerate overnight if I want to bake them the next day?
Thank You!
ChocolaTess says
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.
Anne Faulkenburg says
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.
ChocolaTess says
You are very welcome and that sounds amazing with the mint oreos!! YUM!!!

Trying to find the recipe HELP
ChocolaTess says
Hi Lindy, no they don't need to be. Happy Holidays!!
Lindy says
Should these cookies be refrigerated after baking?
ChocolaTess says
Yay! 🙂

Delicious! I baked them. Yummy!
ChocolaTess says
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. 🙂
Jana says
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
ChocolaTess says
Hi Ashley, about 2 dozen and the cookie dough is super yummy! Happy Baking!
ChocolaTess says
Hi Leisa! About 2 dozen! 🙂
ChocolaTess says
2 dozen Cynamon 🙂
Leisa Minner says
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.
Cynamon says
How many cookies does this recipe make?
Ashley HOward says
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.
ChocolaTess says
So sorry Jeremy! Updated in the recipe, and thank you! Enjoy!!
Jeremy says
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.
ChocolaTess says
I know what you mean Sarah! Cream cheese definitely calls our names! 🙂
Sarah @ Sarah Cooks the Books says
You had me at "cream cheese." 🙂 These look yummy!
