Who Invented Oreos?
Oreos were introduced by the Nabisco company in 1912. Although it’s not clear who first designed the cookie, or even how the name “Oreo” came about, they were very similar to another cookies and cream biscuit at the time, called the Hydrox. Today’s Oreo cookies were designed by Sam Porcello, who slightly modified the original recipe to create the snack we know and love.

Step 1: Prep the Baking Sheets with Parchment Paper or Mat
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a silicone mat or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you’re using whole Oreos, put them in a Ziploc bag and roll them with a rolling pin to crush them.
Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients to Make the Dough
With an electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until combined. Fold crushed Oreo crumbs into the batter.
Step 3: Bake Oreo Cheesecake Cookies on a Lined Baking Sheet
Scoop the dough with a cookie scoop, or spoon a few tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake the cookie dough balls for 12-15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before moving them to a rack to cool completely.

This recipe didn’t work for me. The cookies melted on the baking sheet and weren’t edible. Might work with flour and cooling the dough. Going to use a different recipe next time.
