How to Make Oreo Fried Cream Cheese Cake Cookies
Let’s dive into how to create these delicious cookies step by step!
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 12 Oreo cookies
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Additional crushed Oreos, for garnish
Directions
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
-
Assemble the Oreos: Use a spoon or a small ice cream scoop to put a small amount of the cream cheese filling on each Oreo. Press another Oreo on top to make a sandwich. Repeat with all the Oreos.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
-
Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo sandwich first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to fully coat them.
-
Fry the Oreos: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the Oreos. Carefully place a few coated Oreos into the hot oil, not crowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried Oreos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
-
Decorate and Serve: Dust the hot fried Oreos with powdered sugar and sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos if desired. Serve them right away while they’re still warm!

Tips to Make Oreo Fried Cream Cheese Cake Cookies
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily.

FAQs
1. Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Yes, low-fat cream cheese can work, but it might be less creamy.
2. How can I know when the oil is ready for frying?
A good test is to drop a small piece of batter into the oil. If it bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready!
3. Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes! You can freeze the assembled but un-fried cookies. Just fry them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to eat.
