Ingredients
For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
Optional Ingredients:
- Additional chocolate chips for topping
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center and cover with another tablespoon of cookie dough. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. If desired, sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recommendations
- Serve warm for a melty, gooey experience or chilled for a firmer texture.
