Description
Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies are a delightful combination of soft, chewy cookies filled with a creamy cheesecake center and topped with a sweet cinnamon swirl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand, placing a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then fold the dough around it to form a ball.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of ground cinnamon in the cookie dough.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to drizzle a simple icing over the cooled cookies for extra sweetness.
