Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cold cream cheese, granulated white sugar, and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Cream together softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and additional granulated white sugar until fluffy; mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Scoop about one tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center, then fold the dough around it to form a ball.

  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft; cool on a wire rack before serving.
