Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 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
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 egg (for cheesecake filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Crushed Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookie cups.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Add Oreos to Dough: Crush about 10 Oreo cookies into small pieces and fold them gently into the cookie dough to distribute evenly.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into each muffin cup and press it down to form a cup shape that will hold the cheesecake filling.
- Bake Cookie Cups: Bake the cookie cups in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Fill Cookie Cups: Once cookie cups have cooled, spoon the cheesecake filling into each cup, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle crumbled Oreos on top for garnish.
- Bake Filled Cups: Return the filled cookie cups to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and firm.
- Chill and Serve: Let the filled cookie cups cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to achieve the best texture before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
- Press the cookie dough gently but firmly in the muffin cups to form stable cups that hold the filling well.
- The refrigeration step is crucial for setting the cheesecake filling properly.
- You can use paper liners for easier removal or grease the tins well if not using liners.
- These cookie cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
