Ingredients

For the Pastry

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• ½ cup ice-cold water

For the Cookies and Cream Filling

• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 Oreo cookies, finely crushed

For the Vanilla Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional crushed Oreos for topping

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pastry Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add ice-cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. Set aside.

Step 3: Roll and Cut the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a large rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Cut into rectangles roughly 4×3 inches.

Repeat with the second disc. You should have two equal sets of rectangles (top and bottom of Pop-Tarts).

Step 4: Assemble the Pop-Tarts

Place half of the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto the center of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Brush the edges with water and place the matching dough rectangle on top. Press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 5: Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prick the tops of the Pop-Tarts with a fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

Step 6: Make the Glaze and Decorate

In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Pop-Tarts and sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos.

Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Tips for Perfect Cookies and Cream Oreo Pop-Tarts

• Keep the butter and water cold to ensure a flaky crust.
• Don’t overfill the Pop-Tarts to avoid leaking during baking.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently if desired.
• Customize the filling by adding mini chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy warm or at room temperature for breakfast or dessert.
• Pair with a cold glass of milk or a cup of hot coffee or tea.
• Great for special occasions, brunches, or just because!
