Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup mini chocolate chips or fruit preserves (optional, for filling)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.

      Add Sugar and Egg: Gradually mix in the granulated sugar until well combined. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

          Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

            Fold in Add-ins: If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips or fruit preserves to add a delightful surprise in each cookie.

              Scoop and Shape: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

                  Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Dust and Serve: If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. Enjoy your delicious cheesecake cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
