Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple cider reduction by simmering 2 cups of apple cider in a saucepan until reduced to about 1 cup. Let it cool.
  2. For the cheesecake filling, mix 6 oz cream cheese, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth; refrigerate.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together 3/4 cup softened butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until fluffy. Add 2 egg yolks and 2 tsp vanilla; mix well.
  4. Gradually blend in 1 3/4 cups flour, spices (2 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp allspice), baking powder (1/2 tsp), baking soda (1/2 tsp), and salt (1/2 tsp).
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; flatten slightly and place about a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Seal the dough around the filling.
  6. Bake for about 11 minutes or until lightly golden; let cool slightly before brushing with melted salted butter.
