Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cherry pie filling

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until combined.
In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, then gently fold in cherry pie filling.
Using a cookie scoop, flatten a portion of cookie dough in your hand, place about a tablespoon of cheesecake filling in the center, wrap the dough around it, and roll into a ball.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet about two inches apart and bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool before serving.
