These cookies, made with cream cheese and butter, simply melt in the mouth. Cheesecake cooke bites are delectable, light, and delicious.
Yocheved is the type of friend and neighbor who always delivers something yummy at your door just at the right moment. Lucky for us, 3 out of 5 of us live in her vicinity. (But, hey, don’t fret, she delivers and ships as well). So, when Yocheved showed up bearing gifts that weren’t her usual cheeseminis, we knew we better make ourselves a large cup of coffee and sit down… because a cookie made in Yocheved’s kitchen isn’t “just a cookie.”
Yes… this cookie is just what we expected it to be: incredibly delicious, soft, and delicate, and of course, dairy. Very.
Cheesecake Cookie Bites
Servings: 3 dozen approx.
Ingredients
- 8 oz whipped cream cheese
- 1 stick stick butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp milk
- dairy chocolate, to decorate
- desired topping, to garnish
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip cream cheese, butter, egg, and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Add flour, baking powder, and milk and mix until combined. Dough may be sticky. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350℉.
- Shape dough into 1 ½ inch round balls. Pat down the center and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies should still be soft when you remove them from the oven. Let cool. Transfer to freezer.
- Melt good quality milk chocolate. Dip one side of all cookies in chocolate and sprinkle with desired toppings. Return to freezer to store and allow to come to room temp before serving.
Notes
Pro tip: If melting 2-3 bars of milk chocolate, use an immersion blender to blend the melted warm chocolate to create an even perfect consistency.

Is there cream cheese in the recipe?
Thanks for catching that. Corrected it!
How much cream cheese? What type? Can you please update the post?
updated! Thanks for pointing it out.
These look dangerously good!! Can I use a hand mixer? My mixer is parve and I’m not comfortable with the idea to use it for milchigs…
Any tricks to melting dairy chocolate and it shouldn’t seize?
Yes we have a post for that ????

I made this cookie and placed a chunk of Rosemarie chocolate in the centers. Was quicker that dipping.
Rosemaie chocolate is delicious but doesn’t melt well…
Just made these, taste delicious but they’re not cookies! They’re like flippy floppy blintzes. Will have to dip into sour cream instead. Not sure where it went wrong!
These came out amazing !!!!!!
What size stick of butter?
4 oz is a standard American stick.
Heaven! I did add some vanilla to the batter because cream cheese and vanilla duh! When you share a recipe for cookies etc. it would be very helpful if you could include the amount the recipe yields.
Thanks for pointing it out. How many cookies did you get? We think it’s abour 3-4 dozen depending on the size.
I got around 3 dozen but beware when I baked 2 sheets side by side the cookies along the oven sides burned very easily on bottom.
That’s why I bake them on 2 oven racks and switch them in the middle.
Whats the texture of the dough supposed to be like? I made the mixture and it seams to be a bit runny, not so solid. Am i supposed to add more flour?
Made these for shavuos ‘19 – delish! Thank you!
