Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup spiced sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  6. Take a small piece of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball.
  7. Roll each ball in spiced sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened for easy mixing. Don’t overbake for soft and chewy texture.
