Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened) Use full-fat block-style cream cheese.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cookie dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 pinch cinnamon (optional) For a warm flavor twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Freeze teaspoon-sized dollops for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the cookie dough by creaming the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Baking
  1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it into a disc, and place a frozen cheesecake dollop in the center.
  2. Wrap the dough around the cheesecake filling, sealing the edges completely to avoid leakage.
  3. Place on a lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor. For serving, try pairing with cold milk or ice cream.
