Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sure! Here’s a delicious recipe for Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies — soft, gooey cookies with a surprise creamy cheesecake center. 🍪❤️

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

• In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

• Scoop small teaspoons of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Freeze for at least 30–60 minutes until firm.

2. Make the Cookie Dough:

• In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

• Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.

• In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

• Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.

• Fold in the chocolate chips.

3. Assemble the Cookies:

• Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten slightly in your hand.

• Place a frozen cheesecake dollop in the center.

• Cover with another tablespoon of cookie dough, sealing the edges to fully encase the filling.

• Roll into a smooth ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

• Chill cookie dough balls in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before baking (helps them hold shape).

4. Bake:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Bake cookies for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.

• Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips:

• Don’t skip freezing the cheesecake filling — it prevents melting too quickly while baking.

• For gooey centers, slightly underbake the cookies.

• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet & salty finish!
