Description
Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies are a decadent treat that combines the flavors of a classic cinnamon roll with a rich, creamy cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder, mixing just until combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl mixture by combining brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter in a small bowl until well-blended.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take approximately 1/3 cup of the chilled cookie dough, fold in 2 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture, and flatten it in your palm. Place one frozen cream cheese ball in the center and fold the dough around it, sealing completely. Roll in remaining granulated sugar.
- Arrange the sugared cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet with space between them. Bake for 12-13 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
