  8. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a small spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center.
  9. Top with another tablespoon of dough, seal the edges, and shape into a ball.
  10. Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  11. Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
  12. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unbaked stuffed dough balls for up to 2 months; bake from frozen with an extra minute or two.
