Description
Warm, soft cookies meet tangy cheesecake and warm cinnamon in these delicious treats, perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar, and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. If desired, fold in the pecans.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Mix the powdered sugar with a little milk until it reaches a drizzle consistency and drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
For best texture, store in an airtight container. Chilling the dough helps with shaping and prevents spreading.
