Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper, ensuring even surface coverage.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and creating a uniform, silky texture.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Fold the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs into the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies or dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate for added decadence.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest mixture.
- Use a food processor for the most uniform Oreo cookie crumbs, which will distribute evenly in the batter.
- When melting chocolate, stir frequently and use low microwave power to prevent burning.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect texture.
- For an extra decadent touch, consider using dark or white chocolate for drizzling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent the cream cheese from spoiling.
- For best results, consume within 3-5 days of baking.
