Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Add the sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and sour cream. Mix until creamy and well blended.

Assemble and Bake

Take small portions of the cookie dough and flatten them in your palm.

Place a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center and wrap the dough around it, forming a ball.
