Ingredients
- 113 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Crushed graham crackers (optional, for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the bowl and beat until the mixture is fluffy and well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 7
Optional: Place the crushed graham crackers in a shallow bowl. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and then roll the balls in the crushed graham crackers for a cheesecake crust-like effect.
Step 8
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your chewy cheesecake cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
