Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble the Cookies: Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, add a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling, then top with another tablespoon of dough, sealing the edges. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake: Place cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 11–13 minutes until golden. Cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes if too soft.
- Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution.
