Ingredients
Scale
For the cheesecake filling:
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cookie dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop into 12 small dollops and freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
- Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk dry ingredients and gradually mix into wet mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Assembly: Flatten cookie dough, place frozen cheesecake filling, cover with more dough, seal edges, and form into balls. Chill for 15–20 minutes.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), place cookies on a baking sheet, and bake for 13–15 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- For best results, keep the cheesecake filling cold and firm before stuffing the cookies.
