# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

02 - 1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
03 - 1/4 cup black cocoa powder, sifted
04 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Creaming and Binding Agents

06 - 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
07 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
08 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
09 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Filling Ingredients

11 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
12 - 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
13 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
14 - 3/4 cup Oreo cookie crumbs

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the muffin tins thoroughly.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, black cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
03 - Using a stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter with granulated and light brown sugars on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
04 - Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed butter mixture, followed by vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined.
05 - Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until a uniform dough forms without overmixing.
06 - Scoop the dough evenly into the prepared muffin tins and gently press down in the center to form wells. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the edges are set.
07 - Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the muffin tins before proceeding.
08 - Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Separately, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth, then fold in Oreo crumbs followed by the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
09 - Spoon the cheesecake filling into the cooled cookie cups and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to set prior to serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure all ingredients, especially eggs and butter, are at room temperature for optimal texture.
