Cookies and Cream Stuffed Cheesecake Cookies 🍪🧀
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the filling onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
2. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and chocolate chips.
3. Assemble the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disc.
Place a frozen cheesecake filling ball in the center and cover it with another flattened piece of dough. Seal the edges and roll it into a ball.
Place the stuffed cookie dough on the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
4. Bake:
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
5. Serve:
