Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for baking.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
• In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to create the cheesecake filling.
• Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, add a small amount of cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around the filling to form a ball.
• Roll each cookie ball in cinnamon-sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets with spacing. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown edges and set centers.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delightful Churro Cheesecake Cookies!
