Easy & Delicious Oreo Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies


I'm so excited to have found this amazing recipe, which I have made over into a simple, delicious, and easy recipe with better ingredients for your body. This cookie tastes just like a chocolate chip cookie, with a hint of cheesecake and covered in organic-whole wheat Oreo cookie crumbs. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Makes about 24 cookies.

INGREDIENTS
* 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil (make sure the oil is not melted, just soft)
* 3 Ounces Cream Cheese (room temperature)
   Tip: Try Greek Cream Cheese, it is great!
* 1 Cup Coconut Sugar (Raw sugar or brown sugar are also optional.)
* 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
* 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
* 1/2 Cup Almond or Oat Flour
* 1 Tablespoon Milled Flax Seeds
* 1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
* 1 Cup Crushed Organic-Whole Wheat Oreo's (about 10 Oreo's)
   Tip: When you find your organic-whole wheat Oreo's, make sure to read the ingredients. Find a cookie with whole-         wheat flour, not unbleached or enriched flour.

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Grease a cookie sheet with coconut spray.
   Tip: If you do not have coconut spray available, spread melted coconut oil on the cookie sheet, or use what is                     available to you until purchasing coconut spray. 
3. Using a food processor or blender, crush the Oreo's until crumbled and set aside. 
4. Using a mixer, cream the coconut oil and cream cheese together until smooth.
5. Add the sugar and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture,and beat together until well blended.
6. With a spatula, mix in the flour, milled flax seeds, and chocolate chips gently.
7. With a spoon, scoop out the dough and roll it forming a ball.
8. Roll the dough into the Oreo crumbs until well covered.
9. Place in the cookie sheet, and repeat until all dough is used.
10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until  the sides are lightly brown and remove from the oven.
11. Let them cool, and place in the refrigerator until served. 
12. Enjoy!
