• ¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
• ¼ cup black cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Oreo Cheesecake Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

• ¾ cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 10–12 Oreos crushed)

Required Kitchen Tools

To make these Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups effortlessly, having the right tools on hand is a game-changer. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer – For creaming butter and sugar, and whipping cream to stiff peaks. This saves time and ensures smooth textures.
2. Mixing Bowls – Multiple sizes for dry ingredients, wet ingredients, and filling.
3. Measuring Cups and Spoons – Accuracy is key in baking!
4. Muffin Tin – Standard 12-cup muffin pan to shape the cookie cups perfectly.
5. Parchment Paper or Non-stick Spray – To grease the muffin tin for easy cookie cup removal.
6. Wire Cooling Rack – For cooling cookie cups evenly after baking.
7. Spatula and Whisk – For mixing and folding ingredients gently.
8. Food Processor or Plastic Bag & Rolling Pin – To crush Oreos into fine crumbs for the cheesecake filling.

Cookie Cup Preparation

Here’s how I create the perfect chocolate cookie cups that hold all the creamy goodness:

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tins well with non-stick spray or butter to make sure the cookie cups release easily later.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, ¼ cup black cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. This cocoa combo gives the cookie cups a deep, rich chocolate flavor.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars

Using your mixer, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy — about 3-5 minutes. This step is crucial for that tender cookie texture.

Step 4: Add Eggs & Vanilla

Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix or your cookies will be tough.

Step 6: Shape the Cookie Cups

Scoop the cookie dough into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly to form a small well in the center for the cheesecake filling later. Make sure the dough spreads evenly along the sides and bottom for sturdy cups.

Step 7: Bake & Cool

Bake for 10–13 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remove from oven and immediately press the back of a spoon into the center of each cookie to deepen the wells while the dough is warm. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Oreo Cheesecake Filling Preparation

Now for the best part — that creamy, dreamy cheesecake filling packed with Oreo cookie bits!

Step 1: Whip the Cream

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This will give your filling a light, airy texture.

Step 2: Beat the Cream Cheese and Sugar

In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz softened full-fat cream cheese with ½ cup granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps for a velvety filling.

Step 3: Mix in Oreo Crumbs

Gently fold in ¾ cup finely crushed Oreo cookie crumbs into the cream cheese mixture. This adds that iconic Oreo crunch and flavor.

Step 4: Fold in Whipped Cream

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Oreo mixture. Be gentle to keep the filling light and fluffy — no one wants dense cheesecake filling!

Assembling the Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups

Step 1: Fill the Cookie Cups

Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cooled cookie cup with the cheesecake mixture. Fill them generously for a perfect balance of cookie and cream.

Step 2: Chill to Set

Place the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours to let the cheesecake filling firm up nicely. This chilling step helps the flavors meld and the texture set.

Serving and Decoration Ideas

These Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups are already a showstopper, but adding some finishing touches can make them irresistible.

• Top with Oreo Crumbs: Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top for added crunch and visual appeal.
• Drizzle with Chocolate: Melt some semi-sweet or dark chocolate and drizzle it over the filled cookie cups for a glossy finish.
• Add Whipped Cream: Pipe a small swirl of fresh whipped cream on each cup before serving for an elegant look.
• Fresh Berries: Add a few raspberries or strawberries to cut through the richness with a fresh, fruity note.

Serving these chilled will give you the best texture and flavor experience, making them perfect for parties, potlucks, or any sweet craving.

Storage Instructions

How to Store

Keep any leftover Oreo Cheesecake Cookie Cups refrigerated in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days, perfect for enjoying over the weekend.

Freezing Tips

If you want to save some for later, you can freeze the cookie cups without the cheesecake filling. Wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready, thaw at room temperature and then fill with cheesecake mixture before serving.
