Ingredients:
For the Cookie Cups:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 Oreo cookies
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 Oreo cookies, crushed
For the Topping:
Whipped cream
Additional crushed Oreos
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Prepare the Cookie Cups:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Place one whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each muffin cup.
Divide the cookie dough evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down slightly to form a cup shape around the Oreo.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
Fold in the crushed Oreos.
Assemble the Cookie Cups
Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cookie dough in the muffin cups, filling each cup to the top.
Bake
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Top and Serve
Once cooled, top each cookie cup with a dollop of whipped cream and additional crushed Oreos.
Serving Tips:
Cool Completely: Ensure the cookie cups are completely cooled before adding the whipped cream and crushed Oreos on top. This prevents the toppings from melting and keeps them looking fresh.
Serve Chilled: For the best texture and flavor, serve these cookie cups chilled. The cool cheesecake filling contrasts nicely with the crispy cookie base and the creamy topping.
Garnish Creatively: Besides whipped cream and crushed Oreos, consider adding other garnishes like chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra flair.
Pairings: These cookie cups pair well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a hot cup of coffee, making them a perfect dessert for any time of day.
Storage Tips
Refrigeration: Store the cookie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking if stacking them.
Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled cookie cups in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw the cookie cups in the refrigerator overnight.
Avoid Moisture: To maintain the texture of the cookie crust, avoid storing them in a humid environment. Humidity can cause the crust to become soggy.
Refrigerate Promptly: If serving at a party or gathering, keep the cookie cups refrigerated until just before serving to ensure the cheesecake filling stays firm and fresh.
