Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat in vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk until fully combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Form cookie dough into balls, create a hole in the center, fill with cheesecake mixture, and seal with additional dough to fully enclose the filling.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the cheesecake filling is smooth before using it to avoid lumps.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes to prevent them from breaking when moved.
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
