Oreo Cheesecake Cookies

 "Very good, not too sweet" - Dave

I had saved this recipe a while ago, and knew that Christmas would be the perfect occasion to make them!

Ingredients:
1/2c unsalted butter, softened
4 oz, weight cream cheese, softened (the original recipe called for 3, but I like my cream cheese...)
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c mini chocolate chips (I may add a bit less next time)
1 c Oreo cookie crumbs (I made crumbs in the food processor, but also added some roughly chopped Oreos for texture)
1/2 c white chocolate chips, melted (I used real baking white chocolate, although I think next time I will use the white chocolate you get in the candy-making section at the craft store. The real chocolate didn't set as firmly as the candy chocolate does)

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 375 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside
2.  In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese using a mixer until they are well combined.
3.  Add the sugar and vanilla and mix until ingredients are well combined.  Add the flour and mix on low until the flour is incorporated.  Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
4.  Scoop the dough into 1" balls and roll in Oreo cookie crumbs so cookie is covered. 
5.  Place covered cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are slightly puffed.
6.  Cool on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.  Once cool, drizzle cookies with melted white chocolate.
