ingredients

1 cup butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups Oreo cookie crumbs, divided

directions

1.Preheat oven to 375.
2.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, I highly recommend using parchment paper when baking these cookies.
3.In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment cream together butter and cream cheese until well combined.
4.Add in sugar and vanilla and mix well.
5.Add in flour one cup at a time, with the mixer on low, until it is just combined.
6.Stir in 1 cup of Oreo crumbles into the cookie mix.
7.Pour remaining Oreo crumbles into a bowl.
8.Roll cookie dough into 1.5" balls then roll into the cookie crumbles, making sure to coat each ball thoroughly (this will help hold the cookie together as it cooks).
9.Place cookies 1-2" apart on baking sheet.
10.Bake on center rack for 14-15 minutes or until the bottom just starts to brown.
11.Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
