Ingredients

• Gluten Free flour - make sure this is plain flour not self raising flour as this will result in a cakey cookie.
• Dairy Free Butter – This can be in spread or block form.
• Caster sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my cookies which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using refined or normal granulated sugar.
• Brown sugar - this helps create a soft chewy cookie and prevents the cookies from spreading too much when baking.
• Vegan cream cheese
• Chocolate- vegan chocolate preferably 70% or less - anything higher may make these cheesecake quite bitter

See recipe card for quantities.

Variations - Easy recipe for cookies

Simple ways you can change this recipe to better suit your dinner guests:

White chocolate cheesecake cookies

In place of dark chocolate chips use white chocolate instead for a slightly more sweeter cookie - following the same principles of this recipe.

Cheesecake cookies and cream recipe

Another great variation for this recipe is a cookie and cream cookie. To make this simply substitute the chocolate chips for chopped Oreo’s or the gluten free alternative

White chocolate peppermint cookies

These choc mint cookies are soft and chewy, filled with pools of marshmallow, and infused with a peppermint flavor. These are the perfect cookies to enjoy all year round. 

Let me know in the comments if you try these variations or if you came up with your own!

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retains heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides. 

For this recipe you’ll need a Flat baking tray, this is the one I use and I use it all the time, which I line with greaseproof/parchment paper

Storage

Storing and freezing cookies with cheesecake

How long does cheesecake cookies last?

They stay good at room temperature for up to a week, and in the freezer for up to 2 months if stored in an airtight container.
