Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Make Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Shape and Fill: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a small portion of the cookie dough and flatten it into a disk. Place about a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center, fold the dough over to seal it, and shape it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Coat: Roll the warm cookies in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve: Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can make it easier to handle if it’s too sticky.
