INGREDIENTS
For the Graham Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 6.5 whole crackers)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 cups powdered sugar
For the Raspberry Drizzle:
2/3 cup raspberry preserves
PREPARATION STEPS
Make the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your cookies bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the flour, crushed graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon
Mix until the dough comes together and is just combined—avoid overmixing for a tender cookie texture.
Form the dough into balls slightly larger than golf balls
Flatten each ball to about 1/2-inch thickness on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for slight spreading during baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are set but not overbaked
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
In the cleaned mixer bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a round tip for easy application.
Decorate the Cookies:
Once the cookies have cooled, pipe the cream cheese frosting onto each cookie in a spiral motion, starting from the center and working outward.
Place the raspberry preserves in a small ziplock bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle the preserves over the frosted cookies for a beautiful finish.
Serving and Storage:
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These cookies are best enjoyed chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
These Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies are not only delicious but also visually stunning, making them a perfect addition to any dessert table or a sweet treat to enjoy with loved ones!
