Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese, cold
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Beat the cream cheese, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp vanilla until smooth. Shape into a log, wrap, and freeze 20 minutes.
  2. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and 1 tsp vanilla.
  3. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough 30 minutes.
  4. Flatten a tablespoon of dough, place a teaspoon of cold cheesecake filling in the center, top with more dough, and seal. Roll into a ball. Repeat for 12 cookies.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place balls on parchment-lined sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look soft.
  6. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

The dough and filling need at least 30 minutes of chilling before shaping. You can make both a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge. If the filling softens while you work, pop the bowl back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
