Ingredients
Method
Make the cheesecake filling
- Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl. Whip until smooth and glossy, then transfer to a piping bag.
Cream the butter and sugars
- In a stand mixer, cream the butter with brown and granulated sugars on medium-high for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and extracts
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing briefly after each, then stir in vanilla and almond extract until combined.
Combine dry ingredients
- Sift together cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Add dry mix in two additions and mix on low until a soft dough forms.
Fold in chips and graham cracker pieces
- Gently fold in white chocolate chips and chopped graham crackers.
Portion and fill
- Scoop 4-ounce portions, flatten slightly, create a well, and fill with 1/2 teaspoon raspberry jam and cheesecake filling. Pinch to seal.
Chill the dough
- Chill cookie balls on a tray for at least 1 hour.
Bake and cool
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange balls on a baking sheet and bake for 12–14 minutes until set. Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Chill filled cookie balls for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading. Adjust baking time based on cookie size.
