Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 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 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing 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. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cookies: Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Place a small dollop of the cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around the filling to seal it. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these gooey, cinnamon-sweet Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
Notes
- For an extra burst of cinnamon flavor, you can sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the cookies before baking.
- Be sure to chill the cookie dough before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
