Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together curd and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the curd mixture to the butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture.
- Stir gently with a rubber spatula until a soft cookie dough forms and no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the dough until evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar, until smooth to prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Chilling helps the dough become easier to handle and prevents excessive spreading during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop portions of chilled dough and flatten each portion slightly. Place a small amount of cheesecake filling in the center and gently seal the dough around it.
- Arrange the filled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Once cooled, add a small amount of extra cheesecake filling on top and sprinkle with crushed Oreo pieces before serving.
