Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
- Blend in sour cream and vanilla.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended.
- Gently stir in chopped cookies.
- Spoon evenly into foil cup-lined medium muffin pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until set.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother cheesecake, ensure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened before mixing. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier flavor. If you want a gluten-free option, use gluten-free Oreos. To avoid cracks, avoid overmixing the eggs and use a water bath while baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these individual cheesecakes with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top for added texture. They pair beautifully with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside a fruit salad or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, place in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a warm treat, or enjoy them chilled straight from the fridge for a refreshing dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cheesecakes ahead of time?
Yes, these individual cheesecakes can be made a day in advance. Just store them in the refrigerator after they have cooled completely. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
You can substitute mascarpone cheese for a richer flavor or use a vegan cream cheese alternative if you're looking for a dairy-free option. Keep in mind that these substitutions may alter the texture slightly.
How do I know when the cheesecakes are done baking?
The cheesecakes are done when they are set around the edges but may still have a slight jiggle in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Avoid overbaking to prevent cracks.
