These cherry cheesecake cookies are made up of three layers: a graham cracker cookie base filled with fresh homemade cherry preserves, and surrounded by cream cheese frosting. It’s a cheesecake in every bite!

I honestly, could devour an entire Texas sheet cake solo (I do admit to having zero self-control). It’s soft and thin but it’s the combo with the extremely fudgy frosting (which is literally the best icing on the cake) that makes the whole situation oh so good. So I figured, why not turn them into cookies?

In my opinion, rosemary is an underutilized flavor in pastry. It adds such a delicious depth of flavor that pairs so well in things like shortbread or madeleines. Add a white chocolate shell and my god, we have a winner.

One of my top five favorite cookies. These make you feel fancy without requiring a ton of work. They give you some practice with a piping bag and allow you to experiment with buttercream flavors. With a dusting of powdered sugar on top I mean, what’s not to love?
