Black Velvet Cheesecake Cookies

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or apple cider)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and vinegar, mixing until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Assemble the Cookies:
    • Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the cookie dough around the filling and roll it into a ball. Place the filled cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Black Velvet Cheesecake Cookies!
