Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped (fresh or canned)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped cherries.
- Mix the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
- Take a portion of the cookie dough, make an indentation in the center, and place a small amount of the cream cheese mixture inside. Then, cover it with more cookie dough.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use dried cherries for a stronger cherry flavor or add nuts for extra crunch.
