Tasty Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cheesecake stuffed chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate indulgence—two classic desserts fused into one unforgettable bite. Crispy on the edges, soft in the center, and filled with tangy, creamy cheesecake, these cookies redefine comfort baking. Perfect for holidays, bake sales, or midnight cravings, they bring bakery-level luxury straight to your kitchen.

Why These Cookies Work

The contrast between rich cookie dough and smooth cheesecake filling creates balance. Brown sugar adds depth, while vanilla enhances sweetness. Baking at the right temperature ensures the cheesecake stays creamy without leaking.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth; freeze scoops for 30 minutes.
2. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
4. Combine dry ingredients separately, then add to wet mixture.
5. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Wrap dough around frozen cheesecake balls.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes.
8. Cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tips

• Freeze filling to prevent leaks
