Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add sour cream and vanilla extract. Stir until creamy and fully combined.

Scoop level tablespoon portions onto a wax paper–lined baking sheet.

Freeze until firm while preparing the cookie dough.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.

Fold in mini chocolate chips and Oreo pieces.

Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3: Assemble the Cookies

Scoop ¼ cup of dough and roll into a ball.

Press a crater in the center.

Place frozen cheesecake filling inside.

Fold dough around the filling and seal completely.

Roll into a smooth ball and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 12 minutes or until edges turn light golden brown.

Cool completely before serving for the perfect Oreo Cheesecake Cookies texture.
