For the Dough:

  • 2¼ cups (281g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened

  • ¼ cup (56g) full-fat cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • ½ cup (110g) light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 6 oz (170g) cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make Filling: In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Chill or freeze in small spoonfuls for easier shaping.

  • Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  • Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add sugars and beat until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla.

  • Form Dough: Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined. Chill for 30 minutes.

  • Assemble Cookies: Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough, flatten it, add 1 teaspoon of filling, top with another small piece of dough, and seal completely.

  • Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake filled dough balls on a parchment-lined sheet for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden.

 

  • Cool: Let rest 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
