Delicious chocolate chip cookies with a creamy cheesecake filling, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for extra ‘chip-heavy’ tops

Instructions

  1. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop into 12 small teaspoons (or 12 mini mounds) onto a parchment-lined plate. Freeze 20–30 minutes until firm.
  2. Prep oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Make cookie dough: Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 1–2 minutes until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough 10 minutes if it feels soft.
  5. Stuff the cookies: Scoop a large 2-tbsp portion of dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen cheesecake mound in the center, and wrap dough around it to fully seal. Roll into a ball and press a few extra chips on top.
  6. Bake: Place cookies 2–3 inches apart. Bake 11–13 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  7. Cool: Let cookies cool on the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. (The cheesecake center sets up as they cool.)

Notes

  • Freeze the cheesecake filling for easier handling.
  • Chill the dough if it becomes too soft to work with.
  • Let cookies cool on the pan for best texture.
