Hi Kim,

I would recommend over-mixing the dough, but I don’t think you need to let it sit any additional time because it already chills in the fridge for a bit 🙂 Hope that helps, happy baking!

In reply to Regan. @Regan, you used gluten free flour? Did you have to over mix the batter?

These are AMAZING! If I use gluten free dough do I mix the batter longer and let it sit like your gluten Free cake batter?

Hi Lesley,

There actually isn’t any vanilla extract in the cookie dough portion of the recipe, there’s only vanilla extract in the cheesecake filling 🙂 Hope that helps clear things up, happy baking!

The cookie recipe doesn’t mention the vanilla extract amount…

Hi Monica,

So happy to hear that!! I haven’t tested this recipe without filling, but my guess would be that they’d need 9-12 minutes in the oven! If you make them like this, I’d love to hear how it goes!!

Hi Lizzy,

There can be a few things! Bake time can vary based on the type of pan you use, what rack you place the cookies on in your oven, and the actual temperature of your oven.

A lot of ovens aren’t perfectly calibrated. My old oven ran about 10 degrees cool. Did you bake them for the full 19 minutes? Next time I’d recommend baking them a couple minutes longer or testing your oven and adjusting the temperature if needed. Hope that helps for next time, happy baking!

I’ve made these several times now after seeing this on your TikTok. They always come out great and are a huge hit!

For me they were too soft, even after placing them in the fridge. The taste is amazing but the texture feels undercooked.
Do you know what went wrong maybe?

Chelsea, these cookies are delectable! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!

Quick question: My parents aren’t huge dairy fans, so I wasn’t going to add the cream cheese filling. How long do you think I should bake these cookies without the filling?

In reply to Lynn Kotwicki. Hi Lynn, I have never thought of doing this but now my brain is spiraling and I need to test it STAT!!! Love that idea!!

Hi Amber,

I used to make slightly larger cookies, but overtime I’ve realized I like them a little smaller! So the updated recipe card quantity of 12 is what I recommend making 🙂

That is a great way to check the doneness of the cookies! And I totally agree, the cross section of the cookie is so pretty!! Love that, thank you for sharing!

Has anyone made this recipe as a pan cookie / cookie bars? Take half of the dough, put it on the bottom of a pan add the cream cheese mixture. Then layer the rest of cookie on top.

Curious if it’ll work?

Great recipe! I saw on your video on youtube you said it made 10 portions, whereas this is saying 12. I made 12, and the recipe worked well. My oven runs hot, so I did mine for 16 minutes. I checked them by feeling the sides, and them having a rough exterior. Since these cookies are so calorically dense, I cut each of them in half to make smaller servings. It is kind of nice this way, as you can then see the line of filling throughout the middle of the cookie before you have begun eating it. Thanks for making this recipe. 🙂

In reply to Derek. Yessss Derek! Love that you love this recipe :) To make the half sized version, I would still bake them at 350F / 175 C and I would bake them for 10-13 minutes! It can vary a bit based on your oven, so keep an eye on them after 10 minutes. Hope that helps, happy baking!
