CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
• In another small bowl, whisk the egg, yolk, corn syrup, and vanilla.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter, shortening, and sugars on medium-high speed until smooth and lightened in color, about 2 minutes.
• On medium speed, add the egg-yolk mixture and beat just until combined.
• Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients.
• Stop the mixer once there are still some streaks of flour left, then continue mixing by hand with a flexible spatula.
• Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring spoons, scoop about 36 balls of dough onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten the dough into thick discs with your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup. If the dough is super sticky, wet your hands before pressing on the portioned dough. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• To make the filling, whisk the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator while the cookie dough chills.
• Remove the cookie discs from the refrigerator, then press them down so they are about 2 1/2 inches wide. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the middle of each one.
• With your hands, gently stretch the cookie dough over the filling and roll the ball in your hands until the filling is surrounded by the cookie dough.
• Place additional granulated sugar in a small bowl, then roll each cookie dough in the sugar before returning to the baking sheets and placing in the freezer for 1 hour (this will prevent the cookies from spreading in the oven). Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. The cookies are done, when they look dry and slightly crinkly on top.
• Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before enjoying.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CHEESECAKE DIP

CREAM CHEESE COOKIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the butter, vanilla, 4 ounces of the room-temperature cream cheese and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups of the sugar and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and beat until smooth, then add the flour and beat on low until the dough just comes together. Remove the frozen cream cheese from the freezer and chop into 1/4-inch cubes. Add the cubes to the dough, quickly stirring with a rubber spatula to evenly incorporate them into the dough. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
• Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons, scoop 12 portions of dough, roll into balls and transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Lightly flour the bottom of a 1/2-cup measuring cup and use it to flatten each cookie into a disk about 1/2 inch thick, re-flouring the cup after each cookie.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the cookies look set but are still pale and barely brown on the bottom, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 2 ounces room-temperature cream cheese, 2 cups sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture forms a thick paste. Add the milk and stir slowly until a thick glaze forms.
• When the cookies are cool, dip the entire surface of the top of each cookie in the glaze and lift up, letting the excess glaze drip off, then flip the cookie right-side up and onto the cooling rack. If the glaze is too thick, add another teaspoon of milk to loosen it. If using the cranberries or lime zest, sprinkle on top of the cookies while the glaze is still wet. Allow the glaze to set before serving, at least 10 minutes. Store the cookies in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
