These were yummy, and I enjoyed something “different” from the typical baked good. However, the baking time was way too long for me. When I’m trying new recipes I always set my timer about 10 minutes early just in case and I am glad I did because my bars were completely cooked!

In reply to Danielle. I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much, Danielle! You can store these in the refrigerator for 3-4 days covered tightly. :)

These were delicious and everyone loved them! They weren’t nearly as sweet as I thought they would be, but the cream cheese seems to cut some of the sweetness, which is great! How long will these keep covered in the fridge?

In reply to Christina B. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Christina! That's quite the odd texture to experience here. Is it possible the batter was over-mixed or over-baked?

In reply to Ava.

These are like muffin / cake like? Can’t describe it but sadly no one in the house enjoyed them at all 😕

In reply to Nancy. You would likely overflow your pan so I don't recommend it.

Can I double the recipe in the same size pan?

In reply to Georgeanne Brack. Hi Georgeanne! Since these are made with cream cheese, I would recommend refrigeration. :)

In reply to Hansa.

I always covert my recipes to grams. Hope this helps.
• ▢ 113g – ½ cup butter softened
• ▢ 225g – 8 oz cream cheese softened
• ▢ 351g – 1 ¾ cups sugar
• ▢ 120g 2 large eggs + 1 yolk
• ▢ 5g – 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ▢ 288g – 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ▢ 2g – ½ tsp baking powder
• ▢ 3g ½ tsp salt
• ▢ 157g – ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp (14g) mini chocolate chips
• ▢18 crushed Oreo cookies + 6 crushed Oreo cookies (divided don’t completely pulverize them to crumbs, you want to have cookie pieces in these bars)

I sure was glad to read you took your heavy rolling pin to your oreo cookies and not Leia! LOL. These cookies & cream bars are awesome. I increased the recipe by half and baked them in a half sheet pan. Not a crumb left! Yet another terrific recipe! Thank you Sam.

In reply to Suzanne. Unfortunately that's not going to really work. :(

In reply to Sam. Thanks for the response!! Might sound silly but can I re-bake them after I’ve cut them?

By: Sam

In reply to Suzanne. Hi Suzanne! They should be soft and chewy, but I don't know that I would describe it as undercooked. They may have just needed an extra minute or two in the oven. :)

Suzanne — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 02:17:27 +0000

Hello! Just wondering if these are supposed to have the consistency of an undercooked cookie – or did I do something wrong?

In reply to Ava. Hi Ava! I'm so glad you enjoyed! If they were a bit dry is it possible the flour might have been accidentally over-measured or could they have been baked a bit too long? Those are usually the most likely culprits.

These turned out so yummy, thank you for this recipe! I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to make them a bit more moist?

Hi Sam! I just made these last night and they’re SO good! My boyfriend is always talking about these Oreo cream bars that they used to sell at Starbucks but discontinued, so I looked for a similar recipe to recreate them and he loved it! Since they have cream cheese, should they be stored in the fridge? Thank you for the awesome recipe!

In reply to Brandy. Hi Brandy! You will need 18 whole cookies with filling. Enjoy!

Brandy — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 23:13:31 +0000

Wow these look amazing! I’m a little confused… not sure why, but does 18 oreos mean 18 oreo sandwhiches or 18 single cookies (without the filling?) Thanks!
