Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy. Set it aside.
  2. Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk in your hand. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center of the disk, then fold the edges of the dough over the filling, sealing it completely. Roll the filled dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each cookie ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture before placing it back on the baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Step 6: Serve: Enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies warm or at room temperature!

Notes
