Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup non-dairy butter cold
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cup gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup non-dairy chocolate chips
For the cheesecake filling:
  • 4 oz. non-dairy cream cheese
  • ½-1 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. A few hours or the night before making the cookies, make the cheesecake filling. Mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Taste as you go and add powdered sugar until it is as sweet as you'd like. Scoop the filling into dollops about 1 ½ tablespoon in size onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer to freeze for a few hours or overnight.
  2. Begin making the cookies. In a stand mixer, mix together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix in the rest of the cookie ingredients until you have a dough. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Begin scooping your cookie dough into balls. Flatten each cookie dough ball and place one of the frozen cheesecake bites in the center of the dough. Carefully enclose the cheesecake filling in the cookie dough. Leave about 1-2 inches in between each cookie.
  4. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool before enjoying!
