Step-by-Step Instructions for Caramel Cheesecake Cookies
  1. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Form into 7 mounds and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Make Cookie Dough: Cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl for 3-4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until incorporated. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to butter mixture.
  3. Assemble Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the cookie dough into 14 portions and flatten. Place a cheesecake mound in the center of half, drizzle with caramel, and cover with another dough portion, sealing edges well.
  4. Bake: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake assembled cookies for 11-13 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
