Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies Treat (Print)

Soft cookies filled with raspberries, cream cheese, and white chocolate. Sweet, tangy, and utterly delicious.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 cup white chocolate chips
10 - 3/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, lightly crushed
11 - 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, chilled and cut into small cubes

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
02 - Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
04 - Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
05 - Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, and place a cube of cream cheese in the center. Wrap the dough around the cream cheese to seal it. Repeat with the remaining dough.
06 - Place the filled cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help them keep their shape during baking.
07 - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
08 - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
