How to make stuffed Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
First you make the filling, then you make the cookie dough. Last, combine the two, for one marvelous mega cookie!
Combine the cheesecake stuffing ingredients to a stand mixer. Add the crushed Oreos after the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla have mixed.
Form into ball shape with a spoon. Place on a small baking dish and place in the freezer while you make the cookie dough. You should have 16.
Make the cookie dough by mixing the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined.
Once combined, add the dry ingredients of flour, milk powder, baking soda, baking power, and salt.
Dice up the remaining Oreos.
Fold into the cookie dough.
Using a large cookie scoop, form the dough into balls. Press your finger or the back of a spoon into the center of the cookie dough to form a crevice. Place one of the frozen cheesecake fillings into the cookie. Using your hands, roll the cookie together in order to enclose the filling completely.
Place the unbaked stuffed Oreo cheesecake cookies on a large baking sheet. Add any additional crushed Oreos to the top. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes, then into the oven to bake.
Tips and Tricks
- Measure your flour correctly. I always use a kitchen scale to measure flour in order to get the exact amount. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, use the spoon and level method: instead of scooping the measuring cup directly into your bag of flour, use a spoon to fill up your measuring cup. Once the measuring cup is full, use the flat spoon surface to level the top flat.
- Once you have made the Oreo cream cheese filling, portion the filling out and pop in the freezer while you make the cookie dough. It not only will help keep the cream cheese in the center of the cookie, but freezing will make it a lot easier to handle!
- No need to use a fancy vanilla extract here. Not all recipes are created equal, and some just work better with the cheaper, more artificial stuff. This is one of those recipes. However, use whatever vanilla extract you have on hand.
- After making the cream cheese filling, just use the same bowl to make the cookie dough. Less dishes, hoorah!
- For easy cookie-making, use a cookie scoop when making the dough. This helps you get even cookies, and make the stuffing step easier.

Substitutions and Variations

How to serve Stuffed Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Because we want these cookies to be a bit gooey on the inside, they will seem undercooked when you take them out of the oven. You’re looking for a golden bottom and a slightly golden top. I would recommend waiting at least 20 minutes after taking out of the oven to dive in. These stuffed Oreo cheesecake cookies form their shape as they cool. The Oreo cheesecake filling will remain soft.
Serve with a glass of milk, ice cream, or enjoy these tasty treats on their own!
Storing these stuffed Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
Because the cookies have a cream cheese filling, I recommend storing them in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until they become warm again. You can also freeze the cookies for up to three months.
You can freeze unbaked dough in the freezer as well. You can bake straight from frozen, just add two minutes to the bake time

📖 Recipe
Oreo Cheesecake Cookies (Stuffed!)
Ingredients
Oreo Cheesecake Stuffing
- 8 oz regular cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 Oreos finely crumbled
Cookie
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour 375 grams
- 1 tablespoon dry milk powder optional
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 Oreos diced up, divided into half
Instructions
- Take 6 oreos and crumble them, by either in a ziplock bag and beating to a crumb, or placing between two sheets of parchment paper. Set aside. Roughly chop the other 12 Oreos and set aside.
Make the Oreo Cheesecake Stuffing
- Using an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Once combined, fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Line a small baking dish with parchment paper. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and place on the baking sheet. Repeat until all of the stuffing has been spooned out. There should be 16 total. Place in the freezer while the other ingredients are getting ready.
Make the cookies
- Using the same mixing bowl as was used for the stuffing, beat together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and milk powder, if using. Stir until just combined. Do not continue to mix once combined. Lastly, fold in the about half of the 12 chopped Oreos.
- Take the Oreo cheesecake stuffing out from the freezer.
- Form the cookies by using a large cookie scoop. While dough still in the scoop, use the back side of a spoon or one of your fingers to make an indent in the cookie. Place one of the cheesecake filling rounds in the center, then fold cookie dough around to make sure there is no stuffing exposed. There should be about 16.
- Add the cookies to two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Add the remaining chopped Oreos to the top of the cookies. Bake for 12-14 minutes and allow to rest on the sheet pan for about 10-15 minutes before moving to a cookie rack to cool completely.
- If baking the cookies from frozen, add two minutes to the bake time. No need to thaw.
