Ingredients

Scale

  • 115g (½ cup) Unsalted Butter, Softened: for a light and fluffy texture
  • 1 Large Egg (≈50g): binds ingredients and adds richness
  • 5ml (1 tsp) Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract: enhances flavor
  • 30g (¼ cup) Granulated Sugar: contributes to a chewier texture
  • 100g (3½oz) Cream Cheese, Softened: the base of the creamy swirl
  • 30g (¼ cup) Unsalted Butter, Softened (for swirl): creates a silky smooth swirl
  • 30g (¼ cup) Powdered Sugar: sweetens the swirl and adds lightness
  • 30g (¼ cup) White Chocolate Chips, Melted: adds sweetness and sheen to the swirl
  • 15g (½oz) White Chocolate Chips, Melted (for drizzle): for a decorative finish
  • 2 tbsp (≈15g) Toasted Almond Slivers: provides crunch and visual contrast

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter & Sugar: Cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg & Vanilla: Mix in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Incorporate Cake Mix: Gradually add cake mix until a uniform dough forms.
  5. Chill Dough: Wrap dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Prepare Swirl: Beat cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth; stir in melted white chocolate.
  7. Assemble Cookies: Scoop dough, flatten, and fill with cream cheese swirl.
  8. Encasing Swirl: Fold dough over filling to encase, forming a ball.
  9. Bake Cookies: Arrange on baking sheet, flatten, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  10. Cool & Drizzle: Cool on sheet, then drizzle with melted white chocolate.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent spreading. Ensure cream cheese and butter are fully softened for a smooth swirl. A little peek of the swirl is desirable.
