Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesecake Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
  2. Gradually incorporate flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough, flatten it and add cheesecake filling, encasing it with more dough.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire rack.
  6. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending. Pinch dough tightly around filling to prevent leaks during baking. Refrigerate cookie dough for up to 48 hours before baking, and you can freeze assembled cookies for up to 3 months.
