Cheesecake Sandwich Cookies require only 5 ingredients and 20 minutes to assemble. This easy, no-bake recipe is delicious.
My kids and I recently made these Mini Oreo No-Bake Cheesecakes and they quickly became a household favorite, not only at our home but that of our readers, family, and friends.
We decided to do a few spin-offs, such as these Mini Chocolate Chip No-Bake Cheesecakes. We made the same no-bake cheesecake filling but added mini chocolate chips instead of Oreo cookies and then used two store-bought chocolate chip cookies for the outside. You could make homemade chocolate chip cookies, but then that would make this recipe semi-no-bake.
Variations
Cheesecake Sandwich Cookies are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many ways.
- Dip them in chocolate: For an extra decadent treat, dip half of the cookie in melted chocolate and let it set.
- Make ice cream sandwiches: Cut the cookies in half and sandwich your favorite flavor of ice cream between them for a cool and refreshing summer dessert.
- Use different types of cookies: peanut butter, lemon, sugar, or chocolate chip; the options are endless.
- Customize the filling: While this recipe calls for plain cream cheese filling, you can easily add some fruit preserves, extracts, or zest to change up the flavors.
Ways to serve Cheesecake Sandwich Cookies
These no-bake cheesecake cookies are so easy that my daughter Jojo, pictured below, made them back in 2016. She was just 11 and made the entire recipe on her own. I love looking back at memories like this; it’s the reason I started my blog in the first place.
Ingredients
- A package of cookies of choice, we love soft chocolate chip cookies; you will need 48 cookies.
- Cream Cheese
- Cool Whip
- Sugar

Optional

Cheesecake Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
- 48 store-bought chocolate chip cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extra
Optional
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or sprinkles
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in Cool Whip and mini chocolate chips.
- Grab 2 of the chocolate chip cookies. Using an ice cream or cookie dough scooper or tablespoon, scoop some of the cream cheese filling onto one of the chocolate chip cookies.
- Then place the other cookie right on top of the cheesecake filling. Press down slightly, not too much though you don’t want the filling oozing out.
- Voila! You are done. You may roll each mini cheesecake in chocolate chips, my family and I liked that way the best. Or you can leave just plain. You may also dip the top of the cookie in ganache. If you are looking to do that click here for those directions.
- Repeat with remaining cheesecake and cookies.
- Serve right away or set in the fridge until chocolate is set, about 20-30 minutes.
- The first time we made these, I made them in the morning and let them sit all day in the refrigerator and then had them after dinner.
