Method
 

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Cookies
  1. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Scoop small teaspoons of this mixture onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  5. In a shallow bowl, combine 0.25 cup of granulated sugar with the cinnamon.
  6. Scoop cookie dough into evenly sized balls, then roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Take a frozen cream cheese ball and press it into the center of each dough ball. Wrap the dough around it, sealing the cheesecake filling inside.
  8. Place the stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  10. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Mix the glaze ingredients until smooth, adjusting the milk until it reaches your desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle generously over the cooled cookies.
