Satisfy your cookie cravings with a gooey surprise inside! These cheesecake stuffed chocolate chip cookies are a delightful treat that will make your taste buds dance!
Ingredients:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
1. Prepare the cheesecake filling by combining the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Beat the mixture until its smooth and creamy.
2. Once mixed, scoop out small portions of the cheesecake filling, roll them into balls, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze these balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
3. While the cheesecake is freezing, preheat your oven to 350F 175C.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6. Beat in the egg and the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract until well-combined.
7. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until everything is just combined. Finally, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
8. To assemble the cookies, scoop out a portion of the cookie dough and flatten it into a disc. Place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center of the disc.
9. Carefully fold the cookie dough around the cheesecake, ensuring it is completely sealed. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
