Ingredients:

For the Oreo Crust:

• 20 Oreo cookies

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup sour cream

• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

For Topping:

• Whipped cream

• Crushed Oreo cookies

Directions:

1. Prepare the Oreo Crust:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press about one tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a crust. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.

3. Assemble the Cookie Cups:
   Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the tin, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

4. Serve:
   Before serving, top each cheesecake cookie cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreo cookies. Enjoy!
