So I was down in what Mr. Fantabulous calls my “Bomb Shelter” earlier staring at the buckets of flours, 9 bajillion bags of chocolate chips, the buckets of cocoas (yes I have multiple types of cocoas) and every other thing you can think of to put in baked goods and I was drawing a blank on what to give you guys today for Day 3.

So I walked into the other Bomb Shelter room – yes I have 2 “bomb shelters’.  One houses my pans and stuff for baking and the other houses the stuff I canned, plus the 9000 boxes of cereal (Mr. Fantabulous cannot exist without cereal), chips, crackers and God knows what else when it hit me… OREOS!  “Ohhhh!!!  I forgot I had these!” instantly popped into my head followed with a fast “How sinful can I make these???”

I brought them upstairs along with another bucket of flour and sat there staring at them while I was making my turkey chili.  Half way through making the chili it hit me…. CHEESECAKE!  OREO CHEESECAKE!

Yeah… that moment passed. I didn’t have the energy to make a cheesecake so I decided to play around with the idea of cheesecake but in different forms.  Now there are a bajillion recipes on the net for cheesecake cookies but I think what sets mine apart is these are a cross between a sugar cookie and cheesecake.  The recipe seems pretty versatile and you could easily forgo the Oreos and add in bits of caramel and prailines or raspberry chips, cinnamon chips or mint chocolate.

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  5. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
  6. Add the flour, baking soda and powder; mix on low until it’s all well incorporated.
  7. Add in the Oreo pieces and mix with a rubber spatula or sturdy spoon. You want to make sure you do not break up the chunks – you can add in the mini chips now too.

    Thanks Vanessa! I’m thrilled that you loved them! As some readers asked if you don’t have Vanilla Bean Paste, you can use Vanilla extract. If you make them, post a picture on our facebook page! I’d love to see them!
