Soft, creamy cookies with a cheesecake-like base and a sweet-tart raspberry center. These Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies are the perfect blend of fruity and rich in every handheld bite.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup raspberry jam or preserves
  • Optional: 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
  • Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
  5. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Scoop dough into balls and press a small indentation in the center of each. Fill with raspberry jam or swirl into the tops.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are still soft.
  8. Cool on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Add white chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture.
  • Swirl in sweetened cream cheese for a true cheesecake twist.
  • Use mashed fresh raspberries for a chunkier filling.
  • Chill dough to prevent spreading and improve texture.
  • Freeze dough balls and bake from frozen as needed.
