- Scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of cookie dough. Roll into balls then flatten into a circle. Fill with the cream cheese filling balls, then roll it up into a ball.

Notes
Delicious served warm with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream.
Not so pretty picture alert! I think I need to break out some new pans!
Place the cheesecake balls on a pan and place them in the freezer for a couple of hours to set. They are much easier to work with this way when they are frozen.
Roll your cookie dough into a ball, then give it a squash with your hands or the bottom of a cup to flatten it. Add one of your frozen cheesecake balls then roll up the cookie dough making sure it’s sealed so the cheesecake won’t seep out when it’s baking.

Where it says 1-2 cups, is that just for consistency? What the correct consistency?
Yes, just add in the powdered sugar until it’s thick and taste sweet. I forgot to measure the exact amount I used but it was between 1-2 cups.
