Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for churro coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for dough)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Stir well until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, beat 4 ounces softened cream cheese with ¼ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup softened unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg until just combined, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Retrieve your chilled cheesecake filling. Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly.
  8. Place about ½ to 1 teaspoon of the chilled cheesecake filling in the center of the flattened dough.
  9. Carefully gather the edges of the cookie dough around the cheesecake filling, sealing it completely to form a ball.
  10. Roll each assembled cookie dough ball in the prepared cinnamon-sugar coating until completely covered. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  11. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  12. 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 well-chilled to prevent leaking during baking. Use room temperature ingredients for better texture and emulsification. Measure flour correctly to avoid dry cookies.
