kcalIngredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop small spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment and freeze for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon for rolling in a small bowl.
- Scoop out a portion of dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center. Wrap dough around it to seal.
- Roll the stuffed ball in cinnamon sugar, then place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and tops begin to crack. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Freezing the cheesecake filling is essential to keep it from melting too fast in the oven.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy slightly chilled or at room temperature.
- For extra flair, drizzle with melted white chocolate.
