Simply Delicious Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

Hands down – the easiest, yummiest cookie recipe ever!  It was love at first bite, and truly tastes just like oreo cheesecake.  For a holiday twist, add some sprinkles to the crushed Oreos. I made a small batch of Oreo Truffle Balls with the extra Oreos and cream cheese
