Triple Chocolate Christmas Cheesecake Cookies

Servings 22 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose white flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • red and green food colouring
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180C and whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the cream cheese with the egg yolk and vanilla extract until completely combined.
  • Use a spoon or spatula to stir in the dry ingredients you mixed together in the first step.
  • Mix in the milk chocolate chunks and refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes until it's less sticky and easier to roll into balls.
  • When the dough's ready, roll it into around 22 ping pong ball-sized balls and place them around 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Don't squish them together - if you have to bake in two lots, that's fine!
  • Bake for around 14-18 minutes, or until the cookies are fully set. Leave them on a wire rack for several hours to cool completely.
  • When cooled, divide the white chocolate into two bowls and melt in the microwave or double broiler.
  • Add a few drops of food colouring to each bowl and stir until you've got your desired Christmas colour. If the chocolate is a bit thick, add some vegetable oil to it ½ teaspoon at a time and stir until it thins out a bit.
  • Scoop each coloured chocolate into a piping bag and pipe on top of the cookies. If you can't be bothered with the hassle, skip the piping bags and just drizzle it on with a spoon.
