Churro Cheesecake Donut Cookies

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag for easy filling.
Step 3: Shape the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and flatten each into the shape of a circle. Alternatively, use a large cookie cutter to shape the cookie.
Pipe a small amount of cheesecake filling around the sides of each cookie, then fold the edges over to enclose the filling.
Press down to seal the dough and use a small cookie cutter to cut out the center, forming a donut shape.
Step 4: Coat the Cookies
