These look amazing and cannot wait to try them this weekend!! What temperature do I bake them at?
Oh goodness, thank you Samanta for asking! I’ve updated the recipe, I baked at 350 degrees. You’ll have to let me know how you like them! š
These look amazing! Have plans to try something similar with the original Oreos! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds good Elie! You’ll have to let me know how they turn out!
Kimberly, I’m all over this amazing cheesecake and oreo treat! Love the lemon action the most!
Made these today and mine don’t look as good as yours do, but they are dee-lish! I can completely understand why you don’t want to talk about how many you ate! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh I’m so glad you liked them, Debbie! Thanks for sharing! š
These look so good — you can’t beat lemon in spring! I am a little jealous that we don’t get all the flavoured Oreos in Canada, only regular chocolate and golden š
Oh no, Ashley! I didn’t know that…that stinks! I think chocolate are still my favorite but I do love the lemon!
So…don’t laugh, but I didn’t even know there were lemon oreos!
Your mini cheesecakes are so cute–great use of these oreos I didn’t know existed! Plus, everyone digs individual desserts. Makes things more fun.
Thank you for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo. It’s nice to have you stop by!
Oh. My. Goodness. These were to die for! So easy and delicious! I am a huge fan of the lemon Oreos so when I saw this, I knew I had to make it right away. Thanks! Will def be returning to this recipe throughout the summer š
Hey! Thanks for sharing these at Domestic Superhero Pinworthy Projects link party last week! I am going to be featuring them tomorrow at the weekly party! I can’t wait to make them! Thanks!
Thanks Allyson!
Wooo! I love lemon so I made these the week I found the recipe. I had enough left in the bag to make them again tonight, but I noticed I missed a step in the directions. I didn’t use any crushed lemon oreos IN the recipe. Either way, they were delicious and pretty cost effective since one bag of oreos can make two batches. On my 3rd attempt at making them, I’ll actually crush up some oreos to taste it that way too!
Oh awesome, Courtney! I’m so glad you liked them. I don’t think the crushed Oreos are necessary, but I’m sure you’ll love adding them as well! Thanks for stopping by!
Since I can’t tolerate gluten, no Oreos for me š but not to be deterred from lemony lusciousness, I’m just making the filling and putting it in aluminum cupcake liners! Thanks for the recipe and the 30 other suggestions…there are a few of those I can adapt, as well! ā”
Sounds yummy, Judy!
Ok I’m a card carrying idiot so I’ll ask are you taking out the filling of the cookie or leaving it in?
Hi Ellen – great question! The WHOLE cookie! At the bottom of the cupcake cup I put in a whole cookie and when I crushed the Oreos for the cheesecake I also crushed the whole cookie. I hope that helps!
In the picture it looks like there’s an Oreo on bottom and top, like an once cream sandwich; but the recipe only says one Oreo on bottom? Am I supposed to put one on top and bottom? Thank you so much! I want to make these for my daughters sweet 16 Party!
Hi Diane, there’s just one on the bottom! In the pictures I have it flipped over for you to see. Hope that helps!
Kimberly,
I found this on Pinterest. I made it. SO easy. I used the “birthday cake” flavored Oreo’s (since it was for a birthday).
This was so easy and is my new “go to” when I need easy ‘finger food’ desserts for an event. Can’t wait to try with a little cherry or raspberry on top of the cupcake.
Thanks for the inspiration. Never would have connected to your site, but had to come back and rate and give you a hearty “thanks”!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Steve! I’m so happy you like them!
This has got to be all of my absolute favorite things all rolled into one! YUM! I can’t wait to share it this Friday morning at http://www.makingitinthemountains.com!!!
Stopping by from Wednesday Whatsits. I haven’t dabbled in any of the Oreo flavors. We don’t buy a lot of this stuff and when we do, its small packages and we keep it simple. I have been experimenting more with lemon flavor things these last few months. I adore cheesecake. I might have to see if my local store has these Lemon Oreos and maybe make these for a special weekend treat.
Oh my heck these look so good- two of my favorite things in one recipe. Pinned to make!! YUM! Thanks for sharing, Kim (: xoxo
YUMMMM! Thanks for linking up to the Creative Collection Link Party! Pinned!
Hi stopping by from Whipperberry’s party bunch linky party š
These look amazing! Thankfully Oreos are more accessible here in the UK now, I have to find the lemon ones though to try these!
Definitely pinning š
Thanks for stopping by, Shel! I hope you find some!! š
Yummers! These look amaze balls, friend.
Hello there! Can I use Greek Yogurt in place of the sour cream?
Can’t wait to make these!
Hi Jennifer, you certainly can and that’s a great idea!
Done and done! These came out fantastic! Thank you for the recipe!
Wow!!!!! Delicious, lost for words
