Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, let’s whip up the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until it’s smooth and creamy—this part smells heavenly! Once it’s mixed well, set it aside. Now, in another bowl, we’ll work on the cookie dough. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar together until fluffy. Then, add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
