    These Vegan Cheesecake Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies take the cream cheese frosting that typically comes on a red velvet cake and puts it inside the cookie!

    The result is a soft chewy, cookie with a gooey cheese cake center. The ultimate vegan cookie!

    Ingredients

    For the vegan cheesecake stuffing you will need:

    Vegan Cream Cheese: There are so many vegan cream cheeses on the market, but for these cookies I used Tofutti.

    Granulated Sugar: To sweeten the filling up a bit.

    Vanilla: For background flavor.

    Flour: To make sure the cheese cake filling sets.

    And for the cookies you will need:

    Vegan Butter: I used Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks for this recipe.

    Brown Sugar: For sweetness.

    Flax Egg: I use a combination of ground flax and water as a binder.

    Beet Powder: This is just for color, so you can leave it out. I used this beet powder from Drybox.

    Vanilla: For background flavor.

    Flour: Regular all purpose flour, here. I always recommend King Arthur Brand.

    Cocoa Powder: Use a natural cocoa powder for this recipe, not dutch processed. I recommend Ghirardelli cocoa powder.

    Baking Powder: As our leavening agent, here.

    Salt: For balance.

    White Chocolate Chips: I used Enjoy Life brand mini white chips.

    Method

    These vegan eggless cream cheese red velvet cookies look advanced, but they are really easy to make. Here is how:

    First, make the cheesecake filling by mixing the vegan cream cheese, sugar vanilla and flour together.

    Then, using a very heaped teaspoon, scoop mounds onto a parchment lined baking sheet or plate and place in the freezer.

    Now, to start the cookie dough, mix the flax egg and add the beet powder and vanilla to it and set aside.

    Then, cream the butter and sugar, then add the flax mixture.

    Now, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and mix to form the dough.

    Finally, add the white chocolate chips and stir to distribute.

    How to Stuff the Cookies

    To stuff the Vegan Red Velvet Cookies, scoop ¼ cup cookie dough mounds.

    Next, use your fingers to make a well in each dough mound.

    Now, remove the cheesecake filling from the freezer and add one into each well and return the remaining cheesecake balls to the freezer.

    Then, use your hands to cover the cheesecake ball with the cookie dough.

    And now the cookies are ready to bake!

    Top Recipe Tips

    Give the cheesecake filling enough time in the freezer to be firm enough to handle without making a mess.

    And return them to the freezer while the first round of cookies bakes, until you need them for the second round.

    Specialty Ingredients

    The beet powder is only for color in this recipe.

    If you don't have it, this recipe can be be made without the beet powder, it will just be a light brown color from the cocoa powder.

    Storage

    To store these Vegan Cheesecake Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies, place them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Or place them in the freezer for up to a month.
