Delicious Coffee Cheesecake Cookies featuring a creamy filling and a delightful chocolate chip addition.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp instant coffee powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened (for filling)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp brewed coffee (for glaze)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee powder. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. Then, fold in the dark chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: While the dough is chilling, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Shape the cookies: Once the dough has chilled, roll it into 1-inch balls. Flatten each slightly and spoon a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Fold the dough over to cover the filling, then roll the dough back into a ball.
- Bake the cookies: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and glaze: Allow the cookies to cool completely. While they are cooling, whisk together the brewed coffee and powdered sugar to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled cookies for an extra coffee flavor boost.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- Chill the dough for best results in shaping the cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
