Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Full-Fat Cream Cheese
  • Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
  • Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened full-fat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
  2. Scoop the cream cheese mixture into small, approximate 1-teaspoon sized balls. Place these balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for at least 30-45 minutes, or until the cream cheese balls are firm.
  4. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  8. Cover the cookie dough bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  10. Take the chilled cookie dough and cream cheese balls out of the fridge/freezer.
  11. Scoop out approximately 1.5-tablespoon sized portions of cookie dough. Flatten each portion into a disc in the palm of your hand.
  12. Place one frozen cream cheese ball in the center of the flattened cookie dough. Carefully wrap the cookie dough around the cream cheese filling, pinching the edges together firmly to completely seal the cream cheese inside.
  13. Place the stuffed cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.
  14. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still look soft.
  15. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the cream cheese filling is frozen adequately for easy handling. A tight seal around the filling is crucial to prevent leakage during baking. Don't overmix the cookie dough to maintain a tender texture.
