Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for dough)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop into small spoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop a ball of cookie dough, flatten it, place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.
  9. Place the stuffed dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 11–13 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are set.
  10. Let cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill both the cheesecake filling and cookie dough to make assembly easier.
  • Microwave for 10 seconds to enjoy warm, gooey centers.
  • Use different chips or add-ins like Oreos or espresso powder for variety.
