Introduction

Ingredients
- 10 Oreo Cookies (for cookie dough)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 egg (for cheesecake filling)
- Crushed Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Step 4: Crush about 10 Oreo cookies into small pieces and fold them into the cookie dough.
- Step 5: Grease a muffin tin or use paper liners. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough into each muffin cup and press it down to form a cup shape.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 7: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Step 8: Once the cookie cups have cooled, spoon the cheesecake filling into each cookie cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Crumble a few more Oreos on top for garnish.
- Step 9: Return the filled cookie cups to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Step 10: For the best texture, refrigerate the cookie cups for at least 2 hours before serving.
