- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. 2. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined. The filling should be thick and creamy. 3. Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly into a disc shape. Place a small spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center of the dough. Scoop another tablespoon of dough and flatten it into a disc. Place it on top of the cheesecake filling, sealing the edges to encase the filling in the dough. Roll the dough ball slightly to smooth it out, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. 4. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Gently roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it evenly. 5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies have spread slightly. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
