Description
A delightful dessert that combines gooey chocolate chip cookies with a creamy cheesecake filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for variation)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks or chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate preferred)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and optional sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy to make the cheesecake filling.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
- Divide the cookie dough into small balls and flatten each slightly. Place a spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely.
- Place the stuffed cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days or freeze for up to a month. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chunks.
