Description
Delicious cookies with a soft chocolate chip exterior and creamy cheesecake filling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Take butter and cream cheese out of the fridge 30–60 minutes before you start to soften them. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla, and beat until smooth and slightly thick.
- In a large bowl, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, add cheesecake filling, and roll into a ball. Seal well and place on baking sheet.
- Chill the cookie balls for 10–15 minutes, then bake for 11–14 minutes, until edges are light golden.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Chill assembled balls to prevent spreading and leaking of the filling. Watch bake time closely to avoid overbaking.
