It’s a rainy day here in the northwest.\u00a0 A perfect day to hang out and make some yummy things in the kitchen.\u00a0 Hmmm, what to make, what to make? I only have about a thousand recipes I’ve been wanting to try and I could easily get sucked in to Pinterest for a few hours looking at recipes.\u00a0 What kept coming to mind, were these individual sized Oreo cheesecakes. Yum! I had everything on hand but the Oreos. Off to Safeway I went, and look at this deal I found.\u00a0 Not sure if it was one of those Friday only sales or what, but what a score!\u00a0 The regular size packages of Oreos were on sale for $3.99 (which I think is still too much, regularly $4.79, I don’t think so!).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

After looking around at all my options, I discovered these on the top shelf….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So that makes the family size package only $2.50! That’s $1.49 cheaper than the regular size package….but wait, there’s more…look what else I found….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

That’s a peelie for $1.00 off of any two packages of Nabisco products.\u00a0 So I grabbed a family size package of Chips Ahoy cookies, too. So in the end, I paid $4.00 for two family size packages of cookies. I love surprise deals like that.\u00a0 It pays to look around!<\/p>\n

So anyways, back to the Oreo cheesecakes…here’s what you will need:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

24 Oreos
2 – 8oz packages of cream cheese, room temperature
1\/2 C. sugar
1\/2 tsp. real vanilla
2 large eggs, beaten
1\/2 C. sour cream
pinch of salt
1\/3 C. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.\u00a0 Put a cupcake liner into each cup of a muffin pan.\u00a0 Place one Oreo into each cup.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

With a standing or handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese till smooth.\u00a0 Add the sugar and beat till combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, then the sour cream and salt.\u00a0 Fold in the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Using an ice cream scoop divide the batter evenly into the 24 cups.<\/p>\n

Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool completely (if you can wait that long!).\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n
