Learn how to make delicious Cheesecake Cookies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step always transports me back to my childhood, watching my grandmother’s skilled hands work their magic.
Add the cream cheese, and mix until well incorporated. The creaminess is key here, reminiscent of my abuela’s sopa de fideo.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips if using. This is the part where I like to experiment, sometimes substituting with dark chocolate chips or even a handful of chopped nuts.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
