INGREDIENTS:
For the Cookie Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: PREHEAT OVEN
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
STEP 2: PREPARE COOKIE DOUGH
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk until well combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips.
STEP 3: MAKE CHEESECAKE FILLING
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
STEP 4: ASSEMBLE COOKIES
Form tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough and make a hole in the center of each ball. Fill the hole with a small amount of the cheesecake mixture, then cover with more cookie dough, sealing the cheesecake inside.
STEP 5: BAKE
Place the stuffed cookie balls on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
