Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten into a disc. Place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing completely. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Place stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 15–30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 12–14 minutes, or until golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Keep the cheesecake filling frozen until just before stuffing for easy handling.
- Store cookies in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
