Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened,
- 1 cup granulated sugar,
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed,
- 2 large eggs,
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour,
- 1 teaspoon baking soda,
- ½ teaspoon salt,
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles.
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened,
- ½ cup powdered sugar,
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in rainbow sprinkles gently. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions onto a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. - Assemble the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten into a disc. Place a frozen cheesecake filling ball in the center. Cover with another disc of cookie dough and pinch the edges to seal. Roll gently into a ball. Repeat for remaining dough and filling. - Bake the Cookies:
Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve cookies warm or at room temperature for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- Freezing the cheesecake filling helps prevent it from melting during baking.
- You can customize sprinkles to match holidays or special events.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix.
