How to Make Amaretto Cheesecake Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, in a separate mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons amaretto extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once the crust is partially baked, remove from the oven and pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the crust.
- Combine the reserved 1 cup crumb mixture with ¼ cup sliced almonds.
- Sprinkle the almond crumb mixture evenly over the cheesecake batter.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Enjoy your delicious Amaretto Cheesecake Cookies!
