Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate.
Make the cookie dough by combining flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, cream together softened butter with sugars until fluffy; mix in egg and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients.
Assemble cookies by flattening cookie dough discs, adding cheesecake filling in the center, and sealing them well.
Chill assembled cookies for 20–30 minutes before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
After cooling, pipe additional cheesecake filling and drizzle with caramel before sprinkling with sea salt.
