Oreo Cheesecake Frosting Sandwich Cookies are a sweet and simple dessert, made with rich and creamy homemade Oreo cheesecake filling sandwiched between crispy chocolate wafer cookies.
I finally went and saw The Hunger Games this weekend with my book club girls.
To plan any sort of outing with my lady-friends it requires no less than 7 million emails back and forth.
That’s not an exaggeration. I counted.
Can anyone explain this to me?
Who is riding with who? Who is buying tickets ahead and who is getting them at the box-office? Are we going to eat dinner? Where are we eating? Are we eating before or AFTER the movie? How early shall we get there? What time are you picking me up? What color shirt are you wearing? AHHHHHHHHHHH!
My husband and his dudes plan something and they are able to figure out the plan within a series of grunts.
How do they DO that?
Also, I might add if plans aren’t NAILED DOWN you are basically predestined to stand around in the moment looking at each other until someone makes a decision. The simple question, “Where should we eat?” sends 10 women into a downward spiral of indecisiveness and awkward eye contact. At home we’re all email ninjas, shooting our opinions across the Internets with gusto, but standing around looking at each other in human-form, we all put on our “laid-back”, “go-with-the-flow” costumes and decisions take hours.
I have to say, as much as I love making fun of my friends, I too, succumb to “large group apathy”. I was right there with them, saying “Makes no difference to me”, “I’ll do whatever”… which we all know that’s a straight-up lie. I am not in any way shape or form easy-breezy.
But yeah, we went and saw the Hunger Games. Then we ate. And since no one could decide where to eat, we went to a Diner. Where I decisively ordered Disco Fries.
It was a good night. Love you ladies!
Another thing I did this weekend was make cookies.
Cookies that are mixer to mouth in 10 minutes. Life is good.
Start with some Nabisco Chocolate Wafers…
The magic is in the filling. You’ve got cream cheese, butter, Oreos and powdered sugar.
Lay your wafers out…
Squeeze on some filling…
And top with another cookie.
Apparently my easy-breeziness manifests in the form of sandwich cookies. Hey, I’ll take what I can get.

Description
Oreo Cheesecake Frosting Sandwich Cookies are a sweet and simple dessert, made with rich and creamy homemade Oreo cheesecake filling sandwiched between crispy chocolate wafer cookies.
Ingredients
- 40 Chocolate Wafer Cookies (I used Nabisco)
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temp
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temp
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- In a mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth, approx 45 seconds.
- On low speed add in your powdered sugar
- Once all powdered sugar is added, raise speed to medium and beat for 25 seconds.
- Turn mixer back down to low and add in crushed Oreos until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a large, open tip, or a ziplock bag with corner cut forming a 1/2 inch hole.
- Line 20 of your wafer cookies on a flat surface and squeeze approx 2 Tbsp filling onto each. Top with remaining cookies, forming sandwiches.
Notes
Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. You could also freeze for up to a month.
Cookies are best if made ahead and chilled so the cookie has time to soften.
This look and sound so great!
These look so good! Do you think you can sub peanut butter for the butter? I am all about the PB and chocolate combo. 🙂
I bet that would be great!
” The simple question, “Where should we eat?” sends 10 women into a downward spiral of indecisiveness and awkward eye contact. ” Why?!? Why do we all DO that?!? So funny….and aggravating. 😉
Um, these cookies are WAAAAY dangerous, Shelly! I think I need some Oreo Cheesecake Frosting in my life.
My mom used to make a dessert with those wafers. I make it for my kids now. They are so nostalgic for me. These little beauties are gorgeous, I could eat a dozen easily. I still need to see Hunger Games. My daughter went with her friends. Dang her.

Oh and I went to see the Hunger Games with 4 girls and there was about 5 thousand emails. All the same things lol. Oh so silly.
Hahaha, large group apathy is soooo true. These Oreo sandwiches look so good! Yum!
WOW!! These look amazing!!
Love this idea! They look absolutely delicious!
I saw The Hunger Games this weekend too! And also with my book club girls. What did you think?
Ps. I can totally relate to lady-indecisiveness. It’s a bit ridonkulous sometimes.
Pps. One of these cookie sandwiches would totally rock my world right now. I’ll be over in 10, mmk? 😉
Love that you can eat these within 10 minutes of starting! Those chocolate wafer cookies work miracles!
