Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  7. Divide the dough in half; spread one half evenly on the bottom of a lined baking sheet.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the first half of the dough, then crumble the remaining half of dough on top to create swirls.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges are golden and the center is set.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra gooeyness, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk on top once cooled.
