Instructions

Make the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat softened butter with sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet until just blended.
Scoop two tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, place one teaspoon of filling in the center, seal it with dough, and shape into balls.
Chill assembled cookies for 20–30 minutes before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
Once cooled, top with cheesecake filling, drizzle caramel sauce, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
