Description

Delight in these soft, rich cookies that combine a perfect swirl of chocolate-coffee dough with a luscious cream cheese filling. The subtle coffee flavor enhances the chocolate, while the marbled design adds an elegant touch to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup light brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect cookie texture.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light, fluffy, and smooth—about 3 minutes.

3. Add Egg and Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

5. Separate and Flavor Dough

Divide dough into two equal portions. Add cocoa powder and instant coffee powder to one half, mixing thoroughly to create the chocolate-coffee dough.

6. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling

Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

7. Assemble Marbled Cookies

Take small portions (about 1 tablespoon) of both the chocolate-coffee dough and the plain dough. Flatten each slightly, place a dollop of cream cheese filling between them, and gently press together. Twist or swirl lightly to create a marbled effect.

8. Bake to Perfection

Place assembled cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.

9. Cool and Enjoy

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Enjoy these irresistibly rich and marbled Coffee Swirled Marbled Chocolate Cream Cheese Cookies that bring a perfect combination of coffee aroma, chocolate intensity, and creamy cheesecake goodness. Perfect for your next baking adventure or gift basket!
