Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies (Print Version)

Soft cookies packed with juicy raspberries and creamy cheesecake flavor. Perfect for dessert or snacking.

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 1/4 cup brown sugar or preferred sweetener
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, lightly chopped
08 - Pinch of salt

# Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
02 - Add flour and baking powder to the bowl and stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
03 - Gently fold chopped raspberries into the dough, distributing evenly without bruising the fruit.
04 - Shape dough into a log using plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow easier handling and cleaner slicing.
05 - Cut chilled dough log into even rounds. Place each round onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing to allow for spreading.
06 - Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are set and centers remain slightly soft.
07 - Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow to cool before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use chilled dough when slicing to achieve clean, uniform rounds.
