How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray two standard muffin tins with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, Dutch cocoa, black cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Reduce speed and add eggs one at a time. Then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 3: Shape the Cookie Cups

1. Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), scoop dough into each muffin cup.
2. Press down gently to flatten each scoop.
3. Bake for 10–13 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft.

Step 4: Create Wells in Cookies

After removing them from the oven:
1. Immediately press down the center of each cookie using a small jar or spoon to create wells for filling.
2. Allow cookies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before gently twisting each cookie to loosen it.
3. Cool on a wire rack completely.

Step 5: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Whip cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form; set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth.
3. Add Oreo crumbs and mix well.
4. Fold in whipped cream gently until light and fluffy.

Step 6: Fill the Cookie Cups

Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling into each cooled cookie cup.
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until set.

Step 7: Serve

Sprinkle with additional Oreo crumbs before serving if desired.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

These tips will help you create the perfect Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups without any hiccups.

• Ignoring the cookie base: The chocolate cookie cups need to be baked just right. Make sure not to over-bake them; they should be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
• Skipping the chilling step: Allowing the cheesecake filling to chill is crucial. If you skip this, your filling might not set properly and can become runny.
• Using cold ingredients: For a smooth cheesecake filling, ensure your cream cheese is softened at room temperature. Cold cream cheese can lead to lumps in your filling.
• Not measuring accurately: Baking is a science. Use measuring cups and spoons for all ingredients to maintain proper ratios and achieve the desired texture and flavor.
• Overmixing the cheesecake filling: When folding in whipped cream, do it gently. Overmixing can deflate the air you’ve incorporated, making your filling dense rather than light and fluffy.

Refrigerator Storage

• Store Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups in an airtight container.
• They can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
• Place parchment paper between layers if stacking to prevent sticking.

Freezing Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups

• Freeze in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
• They can be stored for up to 4 weeks.
• Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Reheating Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups

• Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and warm for about 5-10 minutes.
• Microwave: Heat individually on low for about 15-20 seconds.
• Stovetop: Place on a non-stick skillet over low heat until warmed through.
