Delicious cookies filled with a creamy cheesecake center and a burst of cherry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • Cherry pie filling (or well-drained chopped maraschino cherries)
  • Optional: lemon zest, graham cracker crumbs for rolling, white chocolate for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Make the cookie dough: Beat butter with granulated and brown sugar until creamy. Mix in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dry mix to wet and stir until just combined. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Prep to bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment.
  4. Assemble: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten, place a cheesecake mound and a spoonful of cherry filling in the center. Cover with another piece of dough and seal.
  5. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges look set and tops are dry. Centers should remain pale and soft.
  6. Cool and finish: Let cookies rest for 10 minutes before moving to a rack. Optional: drizzle with melted white chocolate.
