Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- For the cheesecake filling, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add a touch of vanilla and blend.
- Form cookies by taking a tablespoon of dough, flattening it, adding cheesecake filling, and folding the edges over.
- Place dough balls on the baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden around the edges. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help achieve thicker cookies. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
