Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies
  1. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in light brown sugar with ground cinnamon until thick paste forms. Set aside to cool.
  2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Cover and chill.
  3. Craft Cookie Dough: Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until just combined.
  4. Shape Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoons of dough and create a deep indentation in the center of each.
  5. Add Fillings: Spoon chilled cheesecake filling into each dough ball's indentation and drizzle cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
  6. Bake: Place cookies in the oven for 9 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  7. Cool & Glaze: Allow cooling for 5 minutes. Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract. Drizzle over cookies.
