Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounce cream cheese, cold
  • 3 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup unsulphured molasses

Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cold cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Set the cheesecake filling aside while you prepare the cookie dough.

2. Make the Spiced Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves. This spiced sugar will be used to coat the assembled cookies.

3. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and baking soda.

4. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, vanilla, and molasses, and mix until well combined.

5. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

6. Assemble the Cookies: Scoop the dough into small balls, flatten them slightly, and add a small amount of the cheesecake filling to the center. Fold the dough over the filling to seal the edges, then roll the cookies in the spiced sugar to coat them.

7. Bake the Cookies: Place the coated cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still slightly soft in the center.

8. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure Ingredients are at Room Temperature: For the best results, make sure your cream cheese, eggs, and other cold ingredients are at room temperature before you begin baking.

Avoid Overmixing: Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough, dense cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

Adjust Spice Levels to Taste: Feel free to adjust the amounts of ginger, cinnamon, and other spices to suit your personal preferences.

Store Cookies Properly: Keep the baked Gingerbread Cheesecake Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Freeze Cookies for Later: You can also freeze the unbaked cookie dough balls for easy baking whenever the craving strikes.
