Print Recipe

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies are a delightful fusion of soft, chewy cookies filled with a creamy cheesecake center and topped with a sweet cinnamon glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the cheesecake filling.
  7. Take a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a small dollop of cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll into a ball.
  8. Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  11. Once the cookies are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm cookies.
  12. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of ground cinnamon in the cookie dough.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
