When the cookies came out of the oven, they were golden brown and smelled heavenly! The first bite was pure bliss—the soft cookie enveloping the creamy filling was a match made in dessert heaven.

Why This Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies?

How to Make Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Assemble the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, take a small amount of cookie dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a small spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the cookie dough around it, sealing it completely. Roll it into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Tips

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the cookie dough until just combined to keep the cookies soft.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Chocolates: Try using white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips for a twist.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a dash of almond extract to the cheesecake filling for extra flavor.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter filling.
  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
