Step-by-Step Instructions for Black Velvet Cheesecake Cookies
  1. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, combine cold cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scoop into 16 portions, roll into balls, and freeze for 1 hour.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Beat softened butter with light brown and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the Eggs: Add egg yolks and vanilla, mixing on low speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until no flour is visible.
  6. Form the Cookies: Scoop dough into 16 portions, flatten each, place a cheesecake ball in the center, and roll into a ball. Roll in cocoa sugar.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange cookies on a tray and bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are set. Cool before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

Ensure cheesecake filling is well-frozen to prevent leaking during baking. Measure flour correctly to avoid dry cookies. Room temperature butter is key for a creamy texture.
