Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Layer

17.5 oz chocolate chip cookie mix
½ cup salted butter, softened
1 large egg
24 Oreo cookies

Cheesecake Layer

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1⅓ cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
⅔ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1⅓ cups chopped Oreos, divided

Optional

Caramel sauce for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray it well with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the bars later.
Make the Cookie Base: In a mixing bowl, beat together the chocolate chip cookie mix, softened salted butter, and one large egg until fully combined and smooth. Press this cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan, creating a solid base layer.
Add Oreo Layer: Evenly place 24 whole Oreo cookies over the pressed cookie dough, spacing them as evenly as possible. Press them lightly into the dough without breaking them apart.
Mix Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cornstarch together until smooth and creamy. Then mix in the sour cream followed by the eggs, adding them one at a time and blending thoroughly after each addition. Finally, fold in two-thirds cup of the chopped Oreos gently to combine into the cheesecake batter.
Assemble and Bake: Carefully spread the cheesecake mixture over the Oreo-layered cookie base, ensuring an even coverage. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos on top for added texture. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool and Chill: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours to set fully, which helps achieve clean slicing.

Notes

Chill time is essential for clean slices and firm texture.
Use room-temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth cheesecake batter free of lumps.
Feel free to switch Oreo flavors to customize the bars, such as mint or golden Oreos.
Freeze individual slices for longer storage and enjoy later.
Use a warm knife when slicing to make neat, even cuts without cracking the cheesecake.
