Ingredients

1-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened, divided
3/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar, divided
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla, divided
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

Combine first 4 ingredients. Beat butter, 2 oz. cream cheese and 3/4 cup granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add egg and 1 tsp. vanilla; mix well. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Refrigerate 30 min.
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine cinnamon and remaining granulated sugar. Reserve 2 Tbsp. cinnamon mixture for later use; sprinkle remaining cinnamon mixture into 3-inch round on work surface.
Beat remaining cream cheese and vanilla with powdered sugar in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Roll dough into 30 balls, using 1 rounded Tbsp. dough for each ball. (Note: Dough will be very soft.)
Place 1 dough ball in center of cinnamon mixture on work surface; flatten to 2-inch round. Spoon 1 tsp. cream cheese mixture onto center of dough round. Wrap edge of dough around cream cheese mixture, then re-roll into ball. Repeat with remaining dough and cream cheese mixture.
Roll balls in reserved cinnamon mixture; place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 12 to 13 min. or just until edges of cookies are set. Cool 2 min. Remove cookies to wire racks; cool completely.
