Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies soft.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cookies: Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Place a dollop of cream cheese mixture and a small spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling, forming a ball and sealing the edges.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the stuffed dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can customize these cookies by using different pie fillings such as blueberry or apple.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
