White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies
Hello! I’m Summer from Sumo’s Sweet Stuff. You can call me Sumo if you want; my husband nicknamed me that when we were dating, and it has stuck! My blog is full of mostly lots of sewing tutorials; I’ve got three beautiful little girls that I love to sew for, and I have a matching disease where I like them to coordinate, so it keeps me plenty busy! Some of my favorite projects are my ruffled t-shirt dress, bustle skirt, and cascading ruffle tank. What can I say, with three girls, we’ve got a thing for ruffles over here! I also share crafts and recipes sometimes, too, so there’s a little something for everyone!
Today I’d like to share a recipe with you that I’ve had for a few years now. I got it off a local television show, and I am so glad I was watching that day. It is always a hit when I serve it, and it’s safe to say that it’s one of my husband’s favorite desserts. These White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies are sure to please!
I love these cookies because you get the goodness of a cookie without the work of making a cheesecake. Not that I’ve ever made a cheesecake, but this still seems easier. Plus they aren’t quite as rich as a slice of cheesecake, so you just get all the flavors in a perfect combination.
Another great thing about this cookie is that you can choose whatever fruit topping you like! It’s like you’re getting multiple recipes in one; easy to change it up or even serve different flavors.
