Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.

Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Form the cookies: Take a small portion of dough, flatten it in your hand, then add a spoonful of the cream cheese filling at the center. Enclose the filling by folding the dough around it and rolling it into a ball.

Magic cover them: Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl, then roll each ball of cookie dough in the mixture to coat evenly.

Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the coated dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

You’ll be amazed at how simple this process is, and the results will have everyone asking for seconds!
