Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth. Chill while making cookie dough.

  3. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Flatten a portion of cookie dough in your palm, place a scoop of chilled cheesecake filling in the center, wrap the dough around it to form a ball, then roll in spiced sugar mixture.
