Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (160 grams) packed brown sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese mixture to a silky consistency by thoroughly blending cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until no lumps remain.
- Carefully form tiny globules of the cream cheese blend using a small spoon, positioning each dollop precisely on a parchment-lined baking surface.
- Transfer the prepared baking sheet to the freezer, allowing the cream cheese portions to solidify completely for a minimum of 30 minutes until they reach a rigid, compact state.
- Ensure the cream cheese segments are thoroughly chilled and maintain their structural integrity before proceeding with cookie assembly, which will help prevent melting during the baking process.
- The frozen cream cheese centers will create a delightful surprise within the chocolate chip cookie, offering a creamy, unexpected texture contrast when bitten into.
Notes
- Chill cream cheese filling thoroughly to prevent spreading during baking, ensuring a perfect center in each cookie.
- Use cold cream cheese straight from the refrigerator for easier handling and more defined stuffing.
- Create uniform cookie dough balls and flatten them slightly before wrapping around the frozen cream cheese filling to guarantee even baking and a beautiful presentation.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional flour with almond or gluten-free blend, maintaining the same delicious texture and flavor profile.
