Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with the additional granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Take about a tablespoon of the cookie dough, flatten it slightly, add a dollop of cheesecake filling, and seal the dough around it.
- Roll each filled dough ball in the cinnamon before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting. Don't overmix the dough for soft cookies.
