Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookies:
- 1 cup Butter
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 yolk Egg Yolk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- Cream Cheese (softened)
- Sugar (for filling)
- Vanilla (for filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In another bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) until just combined.
- Fill Cookies: Scoop cookie dough, flatten, place a dollop of cheesecake filling in the center, and cover with more dough. Shape into balls, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set.
- Cool Down: Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra special touch.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Do not overbake; aim for cookies that appear slightly underbaked in the center.
- Chill filled dough balls for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat briefly in the microwave for optimal gooeyness.
