Instructions

Prepare apple cider reduction by simmering cider until reduced by half. Let cool.
Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth to create the cheesecake filling.
In a separate bowl, combine flour and spices. In another bowl, beat butter and sugars until fluffy; add egg yolks and vanilla.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Form dough around a dollop of cheesecake filling and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 11 minutes until golden around edges; let cool slightly before transferring to a rack.
Brush warm cookies with melted butter and sprinkle with spiced sugar topping.
