Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • COOKIE DOUGH:
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 15 regular Oreo cookies, broken into quarters

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and sugar until smooth. Measure by tablespoonfuls and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Fold in Oreo cookies. Measure by quarter cupfuls on a parchment-lined baking sheet; refrigerate about 1 hour.
  3. Flatten dough into disks. Place a frozen cheesecake filling portion into center of each dough piece; wrap dough around filling to cover completely. Return filled cookie dough balls to refrigerator for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°. Place dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets about 4-in. apart.
  5. Bake until edges and tops are browned, 15-20 minutes. Cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.
