Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Neon green food coloring
- 1/2 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder or black cocoa powder
- Black gel food coloring
- 1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and neon green food coloring. Scoop 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of the filling onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Beat together room temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in egg, milk, vanilla extract, and black gel food coloring. In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda, dark chocolate cocoa powder, and all-purpose flour. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet until a dough forms. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll chilled dough into balls, flatten slightly, and place a frozen cream cheese ball in the center. Seal edges around the filling and sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles if desired. Chill cookies for an additional 30 minutes. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm around the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
