Ingredients

  • 4 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese Room Temperature
  • 1 Box French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 1 stick Butter 8 tbsp
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 24 Cookies Oreo Golden Sandwich Cookies Crumbled
  • 1 cup Ghiradelli White Chocolate Chips
  • Holiday Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Plan accordingly – cream cheese needs to be at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
  • Place the Oreos in a plastic bag and hammer until crumbled well. Be careful not to hammer so hard it tears the plastic bag! Set aside.
  • Combine the cream cheese, cake mix, butter, egg and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Mix until a dough is formed.
  • Add the white chocolate chips and mix by hand until well combined.
  • Add the crumbled Oreos and combine well by hand.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Roll the dough into balls (about 3 tablespoons each ball).
  • Roll the cookie dough balls in holiday sprinkles evenly.
  • Place on parchment lined baking sheets.
  • I cook six at a time on a large baking sheet (so it is 10 minutes baking time per sheet x four)
  • Do not bake for more than 10 minutes! These cookies may look undercooked but they will set as they cool. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
  • With a flat spatula, lightly flatten the cookies and then place on a wire cooling rack until cooled. Transfer to your favorite cookie jar or sealed container.

    These look delicious! Have you ever tried a chocolate version with chocolate cake mix, chocolate chips and Oreos?

    Is the butter salted or unsalted?

    Thanks for sharing!

      With cake mix cookies, the possibilities are endless. I use salted butter but it is your preference! 😊
