Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, cold
  • 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 tsp (3 g) black cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups (188 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) black cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cold cream cheese, granulated white sugar, and vanilla. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside while you prepare the cookie dough.
  2. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, black cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated white sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks one at a time along with the vanilla. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take about one tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place about one teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center and fold the dough around it to encase the filling completely. Roll into a ball.
  4. Place the filled cookie balls on prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set but still soft. Allow them to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
