Introduction: Cheescake Cookies

About: Doesn't matter If it's a recipe, a craft, or a project, I love everything that's simple and quick.

I don't know about you, but my favorite desserts are cheesecake and cookies. So I thought I'd put them together! 

Step 1: Gather Your Dishes, Compliances, and Ingredients

Time to search your kitchen to find the dishes and ingredients you need!

Dishes/Compliances:

- Electrical Mixer
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Bowls
- Plastic Spatula
- Cutlery

Ingredients:

Cheescake:

- 1/2 cup of White Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 8 oz Cream Cheese

Cookies:

- 1 cup of Flour (I used gluten free)
- 1/2 cup of White Sugar for cheesecake mix
- 1 Egg White
- 2 Tbsp of Butter
- 2 Tbsp of Applesauce
- 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
- 1/8 tsp of Salt
- 1/2 cup of Chocolate Chips

I used Gina's cookie recipe from skinnytaste.com

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees celsius

Step 2: Make the Cheescake

Measure out your white sugar, egg, and cream cheese. Add the ingredients one at a time starting with the sugar, then the cream cheese, and finishing with the egg. 

It should be mixed to a smooth constancy. Once it's done, put it aside in a bowl and clean the mixer bowl.

Step 3: Measure Out Wet and Dry Ingredients for Cookies

Measure out the wet and dry ingredients. 

Dry ingredients:

- 1 cup of flour
- 1/4 tsp of baking soda
- 1/8 tsp of salt

Mix them all together gently using a fork.

Wet Ingredients:

- 1 egg white
- 2 tbsp of butter 
- 2 tbsp of applesauce
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients Then Add Dry

Mix wet ingredients by adding them one at a time. Once it's completely mixed, add the dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time. If needed, use the spatula to to push down remaining flour into the batter. Once mixed, add chocolate chips and mix.

Step 5: Layer in the Pan

Get some spray (ex. pam), wax paper, and a 9 x 9 pan. Spray the your pan to avoid sticking. 

To layer the cheesecake cookies, you'll start with cookies on the bottom. Pour the entire cookie batter in the bottom of the pan. If needed, smooth it out using wax paper. After, pour the cheesecake batter on top of the cookie. 

Put the cheesecake cookies in the oven, which is set at 350 degrees, for about 30-40 minutes. Cook until golden brown on top. 

Step 6: Cook, Cut, and Eat

Take the cookies out and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Cut them into squares and place them on a plate to cool further. 

There you go, now you have cheesecake cookies!
