Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • stand or hand mixer
  • 3 Baking sheets if possible (you can also rotate with one or two but may need to wait between batches for the previous batch to cool)

Ingredients

Raspberry Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 20 raspberries about a heaping ½ cup

Raspberry Cookies

  • 2 sticks butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 20 raspberries about a heaping ½ cup
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Raspberry Cheesecake Filling

  • Combine the filling ingredients in a small mixing bowl and beat until well combined.
  • Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling mixture into 24 dollops on parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Raspberry Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ and line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat together butter and sugars.
  • Add egg and raspberries and mix well.
  • Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop out approximately two tablespoons of cookie dough, roll into a ball, and flatten in your palm.
  • Place a frozen dollop of cheesecake filling in the center of the flattened dough.
  • Fold the edges of the dough around the frozen cheesecake filling, and continue pressing the dough around the filling until the cream cheese is fully covered.
  • Place on lined baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes.
  • Cool completely on the baking sheet. Enjoy!

Notes

Only remove a couple frozen dollops of cheesecake filling at a time. Once out of the freezer it will soften quickly making it difficult to work with. 
Play around with the amount of dough and the size of the filling to see what you like! I prefer more cheesecake filling so recommend piping bigger dollops or using less dough for each filling. You can even double up smaller fillings - they'll even out in the oven.
