Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake-Stuffed Sugar Cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Make the Sugar Cookie Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and both extracts until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Assemble the Cookies:
- Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the chilled cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around it and roll it into a ball.
- Roll the ball in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
