Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step is to prepare the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until it’s smooth and creamy—this should take about a minute or two, but I always stop to sneak a taste. It should taste like heaven! Once ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the cookie dough. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
