Ingredients
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 6 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter 4 ounces, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar plus extra for rolling the dough
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg egg and 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Cover and and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
For the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add in the flour mixture a little at a time and mix until combined.
- Place about 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl; set aside.
- Use a size #40 cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoons) to portion out the dough. Use you hands to form the ball of dough into a flat round circle.
- Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each circle and then fold up the dough around, sealing the cream cheese in.
- Roll the dough into a ball and then roll it in the bowl of sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Space the balls of dough 2 inches apart (I put 8 on a standard cookie sheet). Use the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup to gently press down on each ball of dough to slightly flatten.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cracks begin to form on top. Let cook on pan for 2 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
