  2. Transfer the filling to a piping bag.

Shape the Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and flatten each into a circle.

  3. Pipe a small amount of cheesecake filling around the edges of each cookie, fold the dough over the filling, and seal.

  4. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out the center, shaping the cookie like a donut.

Coat the Cookies
