Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cheesecake Filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg yolk

    For the Cookie Dough:

    1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    2. ¾ cup granulated sugar
    3. ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
    4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    5. 2 large eggs
    6. 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
    8. ½ teaspoon salt
    9. 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolk and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Assemble the Cookies:
    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop a spoonful of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball using your thumb or the back of a spoon. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into each indentation.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve:
    Enjoy these delightful chocolate chip cheesecake cookies warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to achieve a smooth cheesecake filling.
  • If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to drop the dough.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
