Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop 16 portions onto parchment paper and freeze for about an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and red food coloring.
In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips.
Scoop dough into balls, flatten each ball into discs, place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, wrap dough around it, and roll into smooth balls.
Bake for 10-13 minutes until edges are set but centers look soft. Shape into circles while warm if needed.
Cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
