5 Ingredient Raspberry Cheese Cake Cookies

154

One of my favorite desserts is cheesecake because it’s dreamy, rich and creamy. This cookie is like a lighter, bite size BETTER version of our classic cake, but made simply (and deliciously). You don’t need to eat a whole slice of cheesecake to get the feel and vibe for it. Although that is phenomenal too.

If you know me, you know I love my few ingredient recipes. Those recipes make life easy when you need a sweet treat for yourself or to bring to a get together. The best situation is when you have all of the ingredients on hand and are ready to bake. So basically, cream cheese, butter, sugar, flour and raspberry jam and you got this one on lock.

If you have these few ingredients, all you need is a little time in your schedule. But it’s mostly down time since mixing the batter is done in 5 minutes. The only caveat is that refrigeration time of 1 or 2 hours. Once that’s done, you roll out those cookie balls, push down a thumb print (I used the back of a 1/2 teaspoon spoon) and fill them with a little jelly. Bake em up and enjoy!
