German Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies

Pin

Ingredient

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 whole egg
4 oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
1 egg white
4 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tub (15.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Coconut Pecan Frosting
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

Step 2
In large bowl, stir together cookie mix, oil, water and whole egg. In small bowl, beat cream cheese, egg white and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 3
Shape dough by 2 tablespoonfuls into balls; place on cookie sheet. Press thumb or end of wooden spoon into each ball to make indentation; fill each with 1 1/2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture.

Step 4
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool completely.

Step 5
Spoon 1 tablespoon of frosting on top of each cookie. In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips on High in 10-second increments, stirring until melted and smooth. Drizzle chocolate over cookies; sprinkle with pecans. Let stand until chocolate is set.

Recipe Tips

For added flair and more coconut flavor, sprinkle the cookies with a bit of toasted coconut after drizzling with chocolate.
To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
