1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
260 g all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp brown sugar (for swirl)
60 g powdered sugar (for glaze)
1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions

2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix to combine.
3. Mix in flour, baking soda, and baking powder until dough forms. Chill if too soft.
4. In a separate bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar for the swirl.
5. Scoop cookie dough, flatten slightly, place frozen cheesecake ball in center, and wrap dough around.
6. Roll dough ball in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set. Let cool.
8. Mix powdered sugar and milk to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
For the best swirl, roll each dough ball evenly in the cinnamon sugar mix.
Freeze the cream cheese balls at least 30 minutes before assembling for easier handling.
