Cheesecake

1. In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Mix with an electric mixer until thick and creamy.
2. Spoon out 1 teaspoon at a time and roll into balls, place balls on a lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 2 hours.

Prepare the cookies

1. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, place cookie dough on a lined cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie to form a circle.(I used the back of a spoon) Place a frozen cream cheese ball in each cookie. Roll the cookie dough around the cream cheese ball making sure the cream cheese ball is not showing.
2. Place prepared cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 8-12 minutes. Depending on the size of your balls. The top of the cookies won't brown, you will need to check the bottom of the cookie. If it's brown it is down. Don't over cook them. They only need to cook about 8 minutes.
3. When you remove them from the oven gently flatten them to form a ball, if needed, and immediately remove them from the hot pan.
