Description
Chewy chocolate chip cookies stuffed with a creamy cheesecake filling for the ultimate dessert mash-up.
Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chunks
For the cheesecake filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop teaspoon-sized balls and freeze for 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks.
Scoop 2 tablespoons dough, flatten slightly, and place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center. Cover with more dough and roll to seal.
Chill cookie dough balls in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake cookies for 12–14 minutes until golden at the edges and soft in the middle.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
Freeze cheesecake filling before stuffing cookies to keep it firm during baking.
Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center for the best texture.
