When we lived in Washington, DC we would frequent a take-out place I used to go to when I was in college called Wisemiller’s Deli [Wisey’s for short]. They have two things that any college student in the know would have to have, a sandwich called the Chicken Madness [coming soon to a blog near you!] and these amazing Oreo Chunk Cookies. They take Oreo crumbs and mix it into the batter until the whole cookie is Oreo flavored and then they would add in Oreo chunks to it. So you would have a delicious Oreo Cookie Cookie! Since that looks like I accidentally wrote the word cookie twice, I call them Oreo Chunk Cookies. Standard operating procedure would be to call the store [it was also a grocery store for college kid essentials like chips, beer and soda] and tell them you wanted a sandwich and then ask if you were lucky enough for any cookies to be left over. These cookies were so delicious they actually made an appearance later in our lives as part of our wedding favors as well.
Today these cookies are making an appearance in cheesecake form for my sweet husband’s birthday. Cheesecake is his absolute favorite dessert, so when I asked him what flavor he wanted, he immediately said “Peanut butter…no Oreo…no! Oreo Cookie Cookie!” What the birthday boy wants, the birthday boy gets!
This cheesecake is amazing and you’ll love every bite! This tray was able to make 48 bites. I left half as is and the second half I piped melted semisweet chocolate over. My husband’s office enjoyed those chocolate covered ones!

Add the Oreo Chunk Cookie chunks to the top.

I would normally have it all broken down in steps for you, but it is a basic cheesecake construction and I was in the middle of 8 recipes at once for the big birthday dinner. He didn’t request an easy meal! We had Toasted Mexican Rice, Guapo’s Salsa, Homemade Mexican Lasagna made with fresh tortillas and a jumbo pico salad. Even writing that all out makes me tired again! Try the cheesecake and the cookies! It may be hard to part with the cookies by putting them in the cheesecake! Luckily we still have about half a tray left, so I am going to be enjoying these all week! If only I made more desserts! Sheesh 😉
Hey Sabrina I’m eating the oreo chunk cookies from that very same deli Wisemillers one of my UPS drivers brought them to me, which made me look for this recipe how crazy is that. These cookies are so freaking good.
That’s awesome!!
Where do the chunks come get added. I see them in the ingredients but not the recipe. I. Going to add them right before I put the filling in the crust
So sorry about that! I updated the recipe. You’ll want to add the chunks to the top 🙂
These look delish! For the crust do I include the oreo fillings too or just the cookie part?
Cat, this recipe actually uses a baked oreo chunk cookie as the base. But if you want to use regular oreo cookies I would definitely suggest the whole cookie, not just the cookie part. 🙂
Oh my gosh girl! This looks and sounds amazing! I would love to try these sometime.
Thanks!
Yummy! This looks like such a good dessert! Pinning this for later!
Thanks so much for the pin! I hope you love it!
These look amazing! I love the idea of adding the cookie chunks!
Thanks!
Who doesn’t like cheesecake? I can’t think of anything better than Oreo cheesecake!
I know, it is almost like cheating, right?
This recipe combines two of my favorite things: Oreos and cheesecake! It’s another great recipe!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy following along 🙂
These contain two of my weaknesses – Oreos and cheesecake! Ahh, I cannot wait to make these and eat them!
You and me both! I am a sucker for an Oreo especially.
Oreo and Cheesecake sound absolutely divine! I would totally gobble this up for summer!
Haha, thank you!
Oreo cheesecake for the win! Best cheesecake flavour ever. Thanks so much for sharing!
Your spicy buddha bowl looks amazing!
