Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Scoop small teaspoon-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the sprinkles.
  3. Assemble the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a frozen cheesecake filling mound in the center. Top with another small piece of dough, then seal the edges and roll into a ball.
    • Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers will look soft but will set as they cool.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  5. Serve:
    • Enjoy warm for a gooey center, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Freeze the cheesecake filling well to make stuffing the cookies easier.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to ensure soft, chewy cookies.
  • Add extra sprinkles on top before baking for an extra pop of color!
