Lesson #75: Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

Yes, this recipe combines both Oreo's and cheesecake into one delicious cookie! You begin my making a cream cheese dough, mix in pieces of Oreo's, and roll the dough in Oreo cookie crumbs. The result is a crunchy, chocolate cookie that definitely satisfies your cheesecake craving.

There were two things that I noticed while making these cookies. First, the cookies really flatten out after you remove them from the oven. I've worked with recipes where the cookies flatten out to the point they are hard to remove from cookie sheets, but this is not the case with these cookies. Once they completely cool, they become crispy and have no problems coming off the cookie sheets. Second, while making Oreo cookie crumbs, I noticed that the crumbs seemed to get all over. It's similar to how when you craft with glitter (it gets EVERYWHERE!) It's the same with these cookie crumbs. Just giving you a heads up in case you are a little OCD with cleaning like me :)

LESSON LEARNED: Sometimes when cookies flatten out after baking, it's ok!
