Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate indulgent twist on classic buttery cookies with melty chocolate and creamy filling.
Ingredients
Cheesecake Stuffing:
- 4 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar , packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
Cheesecake stuffing:
- Whisk together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon sized balls of cream cheese batter onto a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. (Should make 12 scoops of batter.)
- Freeze while you make cookie batter (preferably at least 30 minutes.)
Cookie Dough:
- To your stand mixer add the butter, brown sugar, and sugar on medium speed and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Sift together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add it to the stand mixer in small batches on the lowest speed setting until just combined.
- Add in chocolate chips and stir until just mixed in.
To Finish:
- Using 3 tablespoons of cookie dough make a flattened circle (work quickly so you don't warm the batter too much or the cookies will spread too much).
- Add the partially frozen cheesecake ball to the center and wrap the dough around the filling and smooth out the seams.
- Refrigerate cookie dough balls for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
- Delicious served warm or chilled (chilled will give you a more prominent cheesecake flavor).
