Description

These cheesecake stuffed chocolate chip cookies combine the soft, gooey texture of a chocolate chip cookie with a creamy, tangy cheesecake filling, offering the best of both desserts in every bite.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

4 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly with your hands. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then cover it with another tablespoon of cookie dough, sealing the edges around the filling.
Place the stuffed cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden, but the center is still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To prevent the cheesecake filling from leaking, seal the edges of the dough well around the filling before baking.

The dough and filling can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.

For a twist, try using dark chocolate or white chocolate chips, or even add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
