Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and chill for 15 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter with both sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients until just combined.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, place cheesecake filling in the center, seal the dough around it, and shape into balls.
Chill assembled cookies for 20–30 minutes before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
Once cooled, pipe more cheesecake filling on top and drizzle with caramel sauce; finish with flaky sea salt.
