Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
   In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Refrigerate while you prepare the cookie dough.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
   In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Assemble Cookies
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, place about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around the filling and seal well. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake
   Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
6. Serve
   Enjoy warm or at room temperature for gooey, creamy cookie goodness.

Tips for Success

• Chill the Cheesecake Filling – Keeps it firm and easier to wrap inside the dough.
• Don’t Overbake – Cookies should be soft and slightly underbaked for the best texture.
• Customize Chips – Try white chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a twist.
