Ingredients:
- 1 roll of pre-made sugar cookie dough
- 1 container of ready-to-use no-bake cheesecake filling
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 piping bag (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the sugar cookie dough roll into 10 equal pieces to yield 5 cookie sandwiches.
- Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Roll each piece of cookie dough in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, reserving some for the filling.
- Arrange the sugared cookie dough on a baking sheet and bake for 13-14 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes post-baking.
- Meanwhile, mix three scoops of cheesecake filling with the remaining cinnamon-sugar to taste.
- Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture (using a cup to hold the bag makes filling easier).
- Once the cookies have cooled, flip one cookie upside down and pipe a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto it, leaving a small edge.
- Gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- For best texture, you may chill the sandwiches briefly before serving or enjoy them immediately for a softer experience.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
