Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract and flour.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are slightly golden.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner slices.
- Flavored Oreos like mint or peanut butter can add unique twists.
- White chocolate chips or chopped nuts are great additions for extra flavor and texture.
- Don’t skip the chilling step—it’s essential for clean slices.
- Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap for freezing and easy portion control.
