# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in 1/4 cup of rainbow sprinkles. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
05 - In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
06 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles.
07 - Take a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten slightly in your palm, and place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, sealing completely. Roll into a ball.
08 - Place stuffed dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden (centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool).
10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
