Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tbsp (38 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups (218 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, cold
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) apple cider reduction from above
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (for topping)
  • pinch ground allspice (for topping)
  • 12 tbsp (1428 g) salted butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple cider reduction by simmering 2 cups of apple cider in a saucepan until it thickens slightly (about 30 minutes). Let cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg yolks and vanilla; mix well.
  3. Gradually incorporate flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Stir in the cooled apple cider reduction.
  4. In another bowl, beat cold cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth to create the cheesecake filling.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, creating an indentation in each cookie. Fill with cheesecake filling.
  6. Bake for about 11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on a rack before adding a topping of spiced sugar brushed with melted butter.
