Cheesecake Cookies Delightful Treat for Every Occasion

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 2 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Add the egg and mix again until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in the white chocolate chips gently into the dough.
8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
9. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top of each cookie dough mound for that cheesecake crust vibe.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
11. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
