What makes these taste like French toast?

Ingredients
1/2 cup of butter, softened
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 nutmeg
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
Powdered Sugar
Optional toppings: maple frosting, fruit, whipped cream, and anything you would top your waffles with
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the sugars (brown and granulated), and beat until light and creamy.
- Mix in the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The batter may look slightly curdled at this stage—that’s normal!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Don’t overmix.
- Scoop dough into balls and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden brown. The centers may look a little soft—they’ll continue to set as they cool.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
