Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes





























Even though I'm not usually big on cooking desserts, I've been taking after my mom and sister lately and have oddly been craving them. So I stumbled upon this recipe and it combined two of my favorite dessert elements (cheesecake and oreos) so I decided that I had to try it. It turned out really good and I can't stop eating them. I think the website I got it off said that it was originally from Martha Stewart's cupcake book. Anyway, here it is:



*makes 30 cupcakes
42 cream-filled sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, 30 left whole, and 12 coarsely chopped
2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt







1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
















2. With an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat cream cheese until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Gradually add sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in vanilla.














3. Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time, beating to combine and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.
















4. Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving.










ENJOY!
