Ingredients

Scale

Gather the following ingredients to make your Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies:

  • For the Cookie Dough:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
  5. Add the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Form the Cookie Dough: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of the dough ball.
  3. Fill with Cheesecake Filling: Place about 1 teaspoon of cheesecake filling into the center of the indent in each cookie dough ball.
  4. Enclose the Filling: Gently pinch the sides of the dough around the cheesecake filling to seal it. Roll the dough ball back into a smooth ball.

Bake the Cookies:

  1. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The center will remain slightly soft.
  3. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
