Ingredients
  

Red Velvet Cookie Dough

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon almond extract

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the egg, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Take a tablespoon of the red velvet cookie dough, flatten it, and place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball.
  • Place the balls on a lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
