Recipe for Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
For the cookie dough:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
For the cheesecake filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda for the cookie dough.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- For the cheesecake filling, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Take a tablespoon of the cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, and place a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center.
- Take another tablespoon of dough, flatten it, and place it over the filling. Seal the edges together to enclose the cheesecake filling completely.
- Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
