Creating these delicious Apple Cider Cheesecake Cookies is simple. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set it aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the apple cider. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
7. Form Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a small indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb.
8. Spoon Filling: Add about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into each indentation.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
10. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
11. Dust with Cinnamon: Once cooled, dust with additional cinnamon if desired for a finishing touch.
