NEW YORK CHEESECAKE COOKIES

 

HOW TO MAKE NEW YORK CHEESECAKE COOKIES?

 

I USED:

1+1⁄4 cup graham crackers finely crushed.

Softened cream cheese, I used 3 oz.

Flour, about 1 cup.

Softened unsalted butter, A .Cup.

Packed brown sugar, half cup, or more, if you want the cookies so sweet.

An egg.

Baking powder, about 2 tbsp.

Granulated sugar, 4 tbsp.

Two teaspoons of lemon zest.

Vanilla extract, a .Tsp.

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1:

I heated the oven to 350℉.

STEP 2:

I mixed the graham cracker, with flour and baking powder together in a medium mixing bowl.

STEP 3:

In another large bowl, I used an electric hand mixer to beat the butter with the brown sugar.

STEP 4:

I added in the white egg and beat well together. I whisked in the crumbs of the graham cracker and beat again, till well combined.

STEP 5:

I beat the cream cheese in a different medium bowl with sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon zest.

STEP 6:

I scoop out the cookie dough using a small ice cream scoop and put it on a nonstick or parchment-lined baking sheet.

STEP 7:

Flatten dramatically, pressing the thumb to create a tiny bowl shape in the middle of the ball. With the leftover dough, I repeated.

STEP 8:

On the cakes, I spoon the cream cheese into the indents.

STEP 9:

I baked for 15 minutes until the filling is scarcely set and the cookies are gently golden. I let the baking sheets to cool for 10 minutes before removing them and cooling completely on a wire rack.

ENJOY.
