Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup diced apples (peeled and cored)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cream the butters and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the dough until evenly distributed.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and the additional vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop a spoonful of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie and fill it with a small dollop of the cheesecake filling.
Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, and the cheesecake filling is set.
Cool and garnish: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, add your desired garnishes.
