Instructions

Step 1

The first step is making the cream cheese filling and freezing them. Mix together the cream cheese, stevia and lemon juice until well combined. Scoop 6, 1 tsp portions of the filling, place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer. I like to do this bit the night before I want to make these cookies just to ensure the cream cheese is fully frozen 2 hours should do.

Step 2

Pre-heat oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0 calorie brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla and oil until well combined. Fold in the flour, baking soda and spices and combine to form a dough.

Step 4

Scoop up 1/6 of the dough, flatten with your fingers and place a ball of cheesecake filling in the center. Roll the dough into a ball ensuring the cheesecake is covered.

Step 5

Repeat for the remaining 5 cookies and place onto a lined baking tray.

Step 6

Bake for 10-12 minutes and let the cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
