Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Gradually stir in dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  • In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten slightly, add a small dollop of the cream cheese filling in the center, and fold the dough around it to form a ball.
  • Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling.
  • Avoid overbaking — the cookies are best when slightly underdone in the center.
  • Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
  • Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty, bakery-style finish.
  • Add extra cinnamon to the dough or sugar coating if desired.
