HALLOWEEN OREOS COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. In another bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy and light. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, a third at a time to make a stiff dough. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll out a portion of cookie dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters. Place on lightly greased or nonstick cookie sheets. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minute, rotating baking sheet halfway through cooking time. Cool completely on pans about 5 minutes, transfer to cooling racks and cool completely before decorating.
• In a small bowl, mix sugar and water to form a thick, smooth icing. Stir in food coloring to reach desired shade. Drop icing onto cookies using a small teaspoon and smooth with the back of the spoon. Make additional bowls for additional colors.
• Additional multi-colored sprinkles can be added on top of icing before it dries for more decorative cookies, if desired.

Steps:

• Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Place 1 Oreo in each of the liners. Place the remaining 12 Oreos in a large ziptop bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 more minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold just until combined. Add 1 cup of the crushed Oreos and fold until combined.
• Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each muffin liner (about 1/4 cup each) and smooth the top. Sprinkle all over with remaining Oreos.
• Chill the cheesecake bites until firm and set, at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.
