Instructions
- Step 1
First, make the cheesecake filling. In a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy and creamy.
- Step 2
Use a spoon to scoop out 1 teaspoon sized balls. Place on a parchment paper lined pan. Place in the freezer while you make the cookie dough.
- Step 3
In a clean bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold cubed butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat to combine and until no clumps of butter remain.
- Step 4
Add in the egg and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Step 5
Add in the gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a thick cookie dough forms.
- Step 6
In a small bowl, make the cinnamon swirl mixture. Mix the softened butter and cinnamon until combined.
- Step 7
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Step 8
Scoop out 1 teaspoon of cookie dough. Flatten into a disc. Spread a little cinnamon mixture on top. Then, top with a frozen ball of cheesecake.
- Step 9
Take another 1 teaspoon of cookie dough. Take a pea size amount of cinnamon mixture and roll together with the cookie dough until swirled. Flatten into a disc. Place this on top of the cheesecake ball. Use your fingers to pinch the cookie dough discs together, enclosing the cheesecake ball.
- Step 10
Place 3 inches apart on the prepared pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Finally, remove from the oven and serve!
