Churro Cheesecake Cookies Recipe

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Place the filling in the fridge to firm up slightly while you prepare the cookie dough.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.
Step 3: Form the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball.
Use your thumb or a spoon to make a small indentation in the center of the cookie dough ball.
Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake filling into the center of each cookie dough ball.
Roll the dough around the cheesecake filling, sealing it in, and roll the cookie ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
