Ingredients
Method
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop into small balls and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for 15–20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten a scoop of dough, place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, and wrap dough around it, sealing completely.
- Bake for 13–15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cheesecake filling is fully sealed inside the dough. These cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm when the centers are extra creamy.
