Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer.

  8. Scoop the dough: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and using a cookie scoop, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheet.
  9. Add the filling: With your fingers, make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball, place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center.
  10. Bake: Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
