Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (to mimic cheesecake crust)

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.

    Cream the Cheeses: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Sugars: Gradually add the granulated sugar and packed brown sugar to the cream cheese-butter mixture. Continue to beat on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.

        Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix on low speed until these ingredients are fully incorporated into the dough.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until no flour streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.

            Add Extras: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers using a spatula. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

              Scoop the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out rounded balls of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

                Bake: Transfer the baking sheets to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies; they should be lightly golden around the edges while the centers look slightly underbaked.

                  Cool Down: Once baked, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes. Then carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Optional Dusting: After the cookies have cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and an attractive finish.
