Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownies are an easy recipe for a fudgy brownie mixed with chocolate sandwich cookies topped with cheesecake and then more cookies!

I can’t believe Labor Day is just around the corner! While much of our menu is typically centered around the grill, I love to make special desserts to share. Last year I made S’mores Brownies. What could possibly top those? Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownies of course!

Cookies and Cream Scones

August 6, 2014 ·

Cookies and Cream Scones are light, buttermilk scones studded with chunks of cream-filled chocolate cookies!

Pastries, muffins, doughnuts and scones are often enjoyed as a delicious breakfast treat. However sometimes I find there is a grey area as to whether or not those treats actually qualify as breakfast. They may not quite be dessert either, but perhaps more suitable for an afternoon treat, such as an old-fashioned afternoon tea. At least that is what I envisioned while putting a modern twist on a traditional scone recipe for these Cookies and Cream Scones!

Pretzel Oreo Cookie Balls

December 11, 2013 ·

Pretzel Oreo Cookie Balls are a delicious yet simple chocolate truffle made with only 4 ingredients. These are one of the easiest desserts you will ever make and also one of the tastiest!

This recipe starts with the classic Oreo Cookie Ball with a pretzel twist. The pretzels add a subtle salty component to the truffle, giving it the salty-sweet combination that is always so popular. This recipe makes plenty, which is good because they will disappear quickly. Pretzel Oreo Cookie Balls will make a wonderful addition to any Holiday treat platter, or for any occasion….

Oreo Cookies and Cream Muffins

May 22, 2013 ·

Oreo Cookies and Cream Muffins are a tasty vanilla muffin studded with large chunks of chocolate sandwich cookies throughout. If you like Oreos (or Joe Joe’s!) and are looking for a fun recipe to try with them, these muffins are for you. While Oreo muffins are not something that I would make every day, after making the crust for my Lighter Chocolate Cheesecake Bars, I found myself with leftover Oreos (if there is such a thing). Why not try something new for a change! Oreo Cookies and Cream Muffins are glorious and definitely something worth trying if you’re a cookies and cream lover, like myself!

Oreo Cookies and Cream Muffins

Yields: 12 muffins

Ingredients

1¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
⅓ cup cold butter, cut into 12 pieces
1 cup milk (I used skim)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 Oreo cookies, chopped
Topping:
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
2 tablespoons cold butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a standard muffin tin, line 12 muffin cups (or spray with cooking spray) and set aside.
Make topping: In food processor, combine flour, sugar and crushed cookies until combined. Add cold butter, pulsing until crumbly. Put in a small bowl and set aside.
Make muffin: In a food processor, put flour, sugar and baking powder and process until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour into large bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk milk, egg and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in chopped cookies.
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with topping. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Easy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

October 18, 2012 ·

cake mix homemade oreo cookies with cream cheese filling

Easy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies are a simplified version of a chewy homemade Oreo cookie. The chocolate cookies are soft, yet sturdy and the filling is a sweetened cream cheese frosting. The dough literally took me 5 minutes minutes to whip together. I feared the dough would be gooey and messy to work with, but it was quite firm and rolled into balls by hand without a huge sticky mess.

These cookies are fun any holiday or celebration because you can color the filling to suit any occasion or simply roll the sides in sprinkles for a cute, colorful decoration. The recipe yields a generous amount of cookies, which is perfect if you’re looking to share. It also halves easily, which is what I did…(I still shared though) 🙂

I am sharing these delicious yet super easy cookies as part of Week 4 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats, hosted by Meal Planning Magic. While this recipe makes plenty and these cookies are perfect for any holiday cookie platter, I made them pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Week hosted by Erin of Dinners, Dishes and Desserts. To conclude Breast Cancer Awareness Week, tomorrow Erin is hosting a giveaway, so be sure to visit Dinners, Dishes and Desserts on Friday for a chance to win!

Easy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Yields: approximately 4 dozen sandwich cookies

Ingredients

2 packages devil's food cake mix
4 eggs, lightly beaten
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened - (I used Neufachtel / ⅓ less fat)
3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
food coloring or sprinkles for decorating, if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mixes, eggs and oil until combined (Note: I used a hand mixer; batter will be very stiff).
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Using the side of a silicone spatula, press to flatten the balls slightly.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely before filling. (Note: I baked the cookies the night before and did the filling the next day).
For the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add food coloring, if desired.
Spread filling on bottom of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies. Finish decorating, as desired.

Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

April 12, 2012 ·

As I’m sure you’ve heard, the Oreo cookie has been celebrating a big birthday. As a result, our local grocery store was giving away a free package of Oreos. That’s my kind of celebration! I never buy Oreos, so wanted to make something special. In the keeping with the festive spirit, I decided Oreo Cupcakes were definitely in order.

These Oreo Cupcakes were an indulgence, and an absolute treat. The vanilla cake and the cream cheese frosting complement each other perfectly, while letting the Oreo cookies shine through in all their glory. It doesn’t hurt there is half a cookie (the cream-filled half at that!) resting at the bottom of the cupcake, there are big cookie chunks studded throughout the cakes, and there is a dusting of chocolate cookie crumbs on the top. These are the ultimate cupcakes for cookies and cream lovers!

So, back to birthdays…it just so happens today is my brother’s birthday. It’s a big birthday too ~ the kind with a 0 at the end. We can’t let a day like that go under-celebrated. He lives on the West coast, which makes an in-person cake celebration a bit tricky. So instead, we can celebrate with a virtual birthday cake, and these Oreo Cupcakes are posted in his honor! Happy Birthday!

Oreo Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

Yields: 24 cupcakes

Ingredients

Cupcake:
24 Oreo cookies, separated (carefully twist for 1 side with filling intact, 1 side just cookie)
24 Oreo cookies, quartered
2¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons for quartered Oreos
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup milk (I used skim)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 egg whites, at room temperature
1⅔ cups sugar
Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese (I used the ⅓ less fat variety), at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3-4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with paper liners.
With the Oreos that have been separated: 1) Place each cream-filled half of the separated Oreos at the bottom of each paper liner. 2) With the chocolate cookie halves, cut 12 in half and crush the remaining 12, and set aside for garnish.
Toss the quartered Oreos in flour and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter until fluffy (about 5 minutes). Add milk, sugar and vanilla, and beat until combined.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture, mixing until well-blended. Add the egg whites, and beat for 2 minutes. Fold in quartered Oreos.
Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and vanilla until smooth. Add butter, and cream until fluffy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until you reach desired consistency.
Frost cupcakes as desired. Sprinkle with crushed Oreos and top with a half of the chocolate cookie halves.

Notes

There were a few comments on the original recipe that reported occasional cake sticking to the cupcake liners. While I did not experience this issue, I wanted to bring this to your attention so you carefully peel your liners. Also, I stored my cupcakes in the refrigerator, but do not know if that helped the paper liners release. They're good...enjoy!
