Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
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, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth to make the filling.
- Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a small spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center.
- Top with another piece of dough and seal the edges, rolling it into a ball.
- Place the filled cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough to prevent spreading during baking.
- You can freeze the cheesecake filling beforehand to make stuffing easier.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese filling.
