Easy New York Cheesecake Cookies Recipe

New York Cheesecake? Good. Cookies? Good. New York Cheesecake cookies? Amazing.

They’re in my top ten favorite cookies because of their uniqueness and their great flavor. It is a fairly simple recipe, each cookie is like a little bite of cheesecake with perfect amount of sweetness, but made without the hassle of a springform pan or water bath in the oven. Well, I’m really out of words to describe the cookies more, so I’ll just let pictures do the talking.
