Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup funfetti sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and arrange parchment paper on two baking sheets.
- Blend butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until airy and creamy. Incorporate eggs individually, then mix in vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Whisk flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, then gently integrate into the wet ingredients until just combined. Delicately fold in colorful funfetti sprinkles.
- Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar in another bowl until silky and uniform.
- Drop cookie dough portions onto baking sheets, creating a central well in each mound. Carefully spoon cheesecake mixture into the indentations.
- Gently cover the filled centers with additional cookie dough, sealing the cheesecake center completely.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges while maintaining a soft center. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks, permitting the cheesecake filling to set.
Notes
- Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for smooth, easy mixing and better incorporation of ingredients.
- Chill the cheesecake filling for 15-20 minutes before stuffing to prevent it from spreading during baking and maintain a clean, neat cookie shape.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, keeping the texture light and tender.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheesecake filling to set perfectly.
