Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened (use dairy-free cream cheese for vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Set aside for stuffing later.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Stir in chocolate chips evenly.
  3. Shape the Cookies with Filling: Scoop a portion of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a dollop of cheesecake filling in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it completely into a smooth ball to enclose the filling.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving room for spreading. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden but the center remains soft.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to set the structure, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best creamy center experience.

Notes

  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and hold the filling inside.
  • Do not overfill the cookies with cheesecake filling to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter and tender cookies.
  • Maintain consistent oven temperature to bake the cookies evenly without burning.
  • Cool cookies briefly on the baking sheet before moving them to cooling racks to avoid breaking.
