Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
- Food Coloring, assorted colors
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. This will be the delicious filling for your cookies.
- Color the Dough: Divide the cookie dough into portions, and add different colors of food coloring to each portion. Knead the colors into the dough until vibrant and evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Cookies: Take a small piece of each colored dough and flatten it in your palm. Add a dollop of cheesecake filling and then wrap the dough around it to form a ball. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes helps it hold its shape while baking.
- Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality butter and cream cheese make a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out.
- Experiment with Colors: The more colors you use, the more fun the cookies will be!
- Keep It Fun: Involve kids in the process; they will love the vibrant colors and fun shapes.
