If you have been following me since I started my YouTube channel, you probably have noticed I have so many Oreo recipes! I LOVE Oreos and I cannot get enough of it! I don’t know what’s so addicting, but it’s so good! Although I’m not a big fan of the cream, but I still eat it because it’s so good!
Did you know Oreos are vegan?! I remember when my friend told me, I was vegan at the time and was struggling because I really missed eating cookies. I was camping and he came up for the day and handed me some Oreos and asked if I wanted some. I looked at him because he was also vegan and he says Oreo’s are vegan. I didn’t believe him at first, so we checked the ingredients and he was right! I was so so happy, I ate a lot of Oreos that day.
I really hope you enjoy this recipe and what is your favorite memory of Oreos?
Tips and Procedures:
- Cream Cheese: Don’t skimp out on the cream cheese, use the regular version. It makes the cookies so soft & chewy!
- If you want uniformed cookies, use a cookie scooper, and here’s my favorite one I’ve been using for years!
- Cookie variations: After you add in the Oreos, you can also include chopped white chocolate, or candy cane if you are baking this delicious treat during Christmas time.
- Storage: Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies:
Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:
- cream cheese
- unsalted butter
- granulated sugar
- all-purpose flour
- Oreo cookies
Line the baking pan with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, then beat in butter:
After you have the cream cheese softened, add sugar and mix until light and fluffy:
Add flour gradually and mix until well combined. At this part, the dough gets a bit tough to mix manually, so I recommend you use a hand mixer or a stand mixer:
Fold in the crushed Oreos:
Cover bowl with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or best overnight:
Preheat oven to 350F, line baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat.
Spoon cookies onto mat and kind of flatten them with your palm and bake for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are golden :
Cool them in a cookie rack for a few minutes and then serve!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Either it was baked too long or too much flour was added. Make sure to remove the cookies when the edges are golden brown, the top doesn’t brown too much since we didn’t use brown sugar. If flour has been sitting in your pantry for a long period of time, it tends to stick together (I know weird right?!), so sift the flour before your measure out the flour.
I personally have not tried it, but if it does have a lot of fat content it should work.
Yes. Roll the dough into balls and place in a freezer safe bag up to 3 months and thaw before baking.

hi ! i have a question in general, is it possible to substitute or use cake flour when baking cakes or cupcakes instead of all purpose flour ?
Great question, and yes you can substitute cake flour. 🙂
Is it ok if I use salted butter instead of unsalted one?
Hey. Lainey! Can I use it???
Lainey! Can u make more cupcakes? ^o^
With gummy bears too!
I have haribo goldbears like u have from the swap
I used salted butter cause that’s what I had.
Mine came out a little on the rich and oily side. I followed the same ingredients. My nephew made it as well and his didn’t come out like mine. His was perfect. Wonder what happened?
Just make sure to not put a lot of salt! <3 Sorry for the late response !
What kind of sugar did you use?
Hi Terelyn! I used granulated sugar in this recipe. Thank you for visiting by blog. Please tag me a photo if you make this cookie. 🙂
yum!
Hi Chloe! Thank you. Hope you check out my other recipes, too! 🙂
Hello. Thanks for the recipe! Is it possible to use a microwave oven instead? If so, how many minutes or seconds? I hope u reply. 🙂
Hi Mariel, yes you can use a microwave oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. 🙂
Hi Mariel! I’m using a electric oven and what temperature I can use because its only 250 degree in my oven?
Sound like your oven is Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. 350F equal 180C
Actually, it’s 176 degrees…
he or she just estimate it
Would I be able to bake these cookies covered with silver paper? If yes, how long should I bake it for?
Yes, bake it for the same duration as the recipe calls for. 🙂 xx
Hi i want to make my oreo cookie a chewy one. How can i do that? Thank youu!! Nice blog, btw. Im from the Philippines too.
Don’t bake it too long in the oven and add vanilla pudding. 🙂 xx
Hi! Just add 1 package of vanilla oven? You don’t need to modify the recipe in any way?
Yes, Rachel. Thanks for swinging by!
Question! Baked this previously and it was so good!!! Thanks for the recipe! Anyway it was kinda quite crumbly and I don’t know what’s the reason!!
Hi Charlene, thank you for trying out this recipe! I apologize for the very late response. The reason why the cookies become crumbly is either it was baked too long or too much flour was added. Make sure to remove the cookies when the edges are golden brown already and please sift the flour before you measure it.

Hi Christine, it yields 12 cookies or more! Sorry for the very late response. Thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂
Hi, when the cookies are baked, the top was soft to touch, is it under baked? The sides are slightly brown only.
Can we use spread?
Hi Carlos, thanks for swinging by! May I know what kind of spread and to use for what purpose?
Hi! Can I have the metric measurements for this recipe?
Hi Qi, sure.. please see the recipe card above. Sorry for the late response. Thanks for swinging by!
Hi Lainey! Just wanna ask if I can use brown sugar or confectioner’s sugar instead of regular white sugar? Nice recipe, btw! Take care!
Hi there, you can use brown sugar and its equal amount to the granulated sugar. Sorry for the late response. Thanks for visiting my blog! I appreciate it!

Hello. I was just wondering if I can use an oven toaster for the cookies instead of an oven? If so, how many minutes?
Sorry! Did I answer this? I thought I did! Well I have never used a toaster to bake cookies instead of an oven. Did you mean a toaster oven? If so you might be able too! It will probably be a shorter amount but that all depends on how much you can fit in it! Let me know how it goes! (: <3 xx
Hi can I use powdered sugar if so how much should I use ? ^_^
Hi lainey im ur #1 fan 🙂
Thanks for sharing ur simple and yummy recipe 🙂
Hi Jesy! Thank you for supporting me! I appreciate you and I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend! What would you like to see in my upcoming videos?
Hi lainey! Made this last weekend but mine breaks easily and too crumbly. Can u tell me what went wrong? Hehehe
Hi Regine! Great question so my suggestion is to be a little bit more of the liquid part of the ingredient! After that it also helps when you form the dough into a ball wrap it tightly into a plastic bag and refrigerate it. I hope this helped! Let me know if I can help further.
Hi.. After baking the Oreo cheesecake cookie , do I have to store them in the fridge like a normal cheesecake? Or I can just leave it in the counter?? Because I’m afraid they might melt or something.. thanks!
You can most def leave it outside (as long as it’s room temperature) Great question! xx
I always use this recipe and it became my special cookies! All of my friends really loved it! Thank you so much for this recipe ❤
Wow. You’re welcome, Nell! I’m glad you and your friends love this recipe. What are your other favorite recipes ? 🙂
And what is the purpose of putting it in the fridge before baking them?
The sole purpose of this step is to make sure that everything is set, also to make sure that the dough is well put together (: xx hope that answers your question! xx
Hello! How long do these cookies last? (1week?)
yes! It’ll last for a week! :)xx????????????????
Hi.. can i use salted butter instead of unsalted butter? Usually if using cake flour to muffins n cookies,will it make them chewy? Thanx.. 🙂

Can the cookies be frozen? I have make 60 of them and would like to do it ahead of time.
Hey Stephanie!

How do you store these? Fridge, freezer, airtight container?
I just saw the comment above that you can freeze – thanks!!!
You’re welcome, Jessica. Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂
Why am I preheating my oven before I make my dough if I’m chilling it for an hour or even overnight?! I think there’s a mistake in the instructions lol
Hi D.N., you’re right! Thanks for the heads up! Please see the updated recipe card above. I’m sorry for the late response.
I doubled this recipe and the cookies turned out amazing ! Thanks for the recipe !
Hi Kwyla, you’re welcome. Thank you for trying out this recipe. I would love to see pictures if you have. Please tag me on IG or FB.
Hey! I’m actually currently baking these cookies, and they seem really doughy in the inside. Is that supposed to happen? I copped them at 350 for 13 minutes and they’re about the side of a golf ball. Please let me know 🙂
Hi Margaret, I’m sorry for the late response. Try to reduce the baking temperature and increase the baking time. If the edges turned brown already, you can remove them from the oven. Hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes when you bake this again.
Theese are great it is so easy to make them! Me and my family and guest love them!!!
Yay! I’m glad you and your family love this recipe. Thank you for making this recipe, Zoie. Have you tried making my other recipes too? 🙂

I’m guessing vegan cream cheese is ok to use?
Hi Julie, there are some Oreo cheesecake recipes that uses vegan cream cheese but I haven’t tried it personally. If it does have a lot of fat content it should work. Thanks for swinging by! I’m sorry for the late response.
Hi, i tried making them. It really tastes good. however, it seem like its a cookie dough coz it’s soft. is that how it’s supposed to be? or should it be like a with a lil crunch on the bite?
Thanks
Hi there! You can bake it for about 3-4 minutes longer. Oven temperatures vary so when the cookies edges start turning brown that’s usually when it’s ready to be removed from the oven. Please let me know how it goes when you bake this again. Thank you for trying out this recipe. It’s good to know that it still tastes good! 🙂

Okay- I followed the instructions to a T, and these cookies are amazing!!!! So delicious.
I’m not a baker at all, so this was great. I learned so much.
One question though- I turned on the oven to 350 before I started making the cookies, and left it on overnight as per instructions. My house got really hot, is this really necessary for the process? It seems like a waste of energy.
Thanks again for a wonderful cookie!!!
Oh no.. sorry for the late reply. So you need to preheat oven right before you spoon the cookie dough to cookie sheets. Please let me know how it goes when you bake this recipe again. Thank you and enjoy baking, Onizuka!
