Tips to Make Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

• Make sure your butter is melted but not hot when mixing to avoid cooking the egg.
• Don't overmix the dough; just mix until combined for soft cookies.
• Let the cookies cool completely before icing them, or the icing will melt.

Variation

You can add different types of cookies or candy to change the flavor. For example, try adding crushed chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cups along with the Oreos for a twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular cream cheese instead of room temperature cream cheese?
Yes, but it may be hard to mix if it’s cold. Let it sit out to warm up for easier mixing.

2. Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes! You can freeze the baked cookies without icing. Just thaw them when you’re ready to eat.
