Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed Fudge Cookies
I've been on sort of a cheesecake kick lately, because I really love it. I decided to make the raspberry cheesecake stuffed fudge cookies to put a twist on my cheesecake craze I've been on. The chocolate fudge cookie is amazing by itself, but the stuffing puts the cookie over the top.
I used my easy raspberry jam for these cookies. It was quick to make and tastes so much better than a store bought raspberry jam. It's sweet, but also has the fresh raspberry tart flavor to it that I like. It's so easy to make, so if you have extra raspberries give the recipe a try.

The cookie dough is easy to work with. It makes the perfect dough to shape and stuff your cheesecake inside of. It doesn't stick to your palms and fingers when making a pocket for the stuffing which makes for a happier baker, in my opinion. If you're into getting messy, I can send you to other recipes to get working on. This one isn't it though. Yay!

Hi Miranda! I'm a bit confused, which happens frequently, unfortunately. 🤗
You've listed raspberries twice in the "Filling" ingredients, yet it only shows up once in the "Method" part of the recipe. Please clarify.
Thanks so much!
Oops! Forgot to ask...could I just mix the jam & cheesecake mixture together, rather than add them separately, as the recipe currently reads?
Thanks. AGAIN.
Yes! You can add them together 🙂
The raspberry jam listed first goes into the cheesecake filling mix (added to the cream cheese and sugar). The teaspoons of jam are scooped into the cookie dough separately. So, every cookie gets a scoop of the raspberry cheesecake filling and pure raspberry jam. This gives each cookie two different raspberry flavors and looks pretty inside the cookie (the swirl of white raspberry cheesecake and dark pink jam!). I hope this helps! It is a little confusing
can't wait to try - the uae of jam opens possibilities to whatever -- even jalapeño jelly - will try after these
I was just wondering how much baking powder this recipe needs. it is in the method but not the ingredients list
no baking powder needed! Thanks for pointing that out.
