Decadent chocolate chip cookies with a rich, creamy cheesecake filling in the center, combining two classic desserts in one delicious treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to make the cheesecake filling.
  5. Take a spoonful of cookie dough and flatten it out in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center and fold the dough around it, sealing the edges to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie dough or the cheesecake filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
