- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- For the cheesecake filling, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Take a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, add a teaspoon of cheesecake filling, and roll it into a ball.
- Arrange the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Once baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
