Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Decadent cookies filled with a rich cheesecake mixture, combining the joy of two classic desserts in one delicious bite.

  • Total Time: 44 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (for filling)
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar (for cookie dough)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract (for cookie dough)
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
  2. Scoop small teaspoons of the cheesecake filling onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 2 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients.
  6. Stir in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  7. Scoop a large tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, and place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center. Cover with more dough and seal the edges so that the filling is completely enclosed.
  8. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring space between them. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Freeze the filling properly to maintain shape during baking.
