oreo cheesecake cookies {recipe}

Yum! These are delish!!

Well, only if you like Oreos and cheesecake and cookies. Otherwise, I guess they are completely terrible.

Warning, this recipe is a bit messy. Which I suppose makes it kid-friendly.
Isn't that how that works? Messy = kids love it? 

:: Ingredients ::

1/2 cup of butter

3 ounces of cream cheese

1 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 cup of flour

1 cup of crushed Oreo's {7-8 Oreo's}

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Then crush the Oreo's and set them aside.

{if you're extra awesome, use Double Stuffed Oreo's}

 In a large bowl, mix your butter, sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth. 

 

Then slowly add in your flour. 

{Slowly, because otherwise your kitchen will be a big white mess. Trust me, people.}

Now here comes the fun. Grab a chunk of your dough and roll it in the crushed Oreo's. When you're rolling it around in the crumbles, it'll form a ball shape. Mine are around the size of golf balls here.

 Then place the dough balls on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookie start to brown.

Give them a few minutes to cool. Then enjoy!

These were a big win at my house! I made an extra big batch and took them to a football party {Roll Tide!!} and sent some to work with my husband this morning.
