Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

by

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. In a separate bowl, prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth.
  5. To assemble, take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the cookie dough around the filling, rolling it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. Place the stuffed cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
