Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes for an easy cleanup!
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center and fold the cookie dough around it, rolling it into a ball. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll each cookie ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  6. Step 6: Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep these cookies fresh and tasty: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the cookie dough balls before baking.
