Ingredients for Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

To make these decadent Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies, you’ll need:

• 1 roll of chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)

• ¼ cup sugar

• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

• Additional chocolate chips for extra gooeyness (optional)

How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow these simple steps to create your dreamy Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

2. Refrigerate the filling for about 10-15 minutes to firm it up slightly. This makes stuffing the cookies easier.

Step 2: Assemble the Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Take a scoop of cookie dough and flatten it into a small disc.

3. Place about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center.

4. Take another small scoop of cookie dough, flatten it, and place it over the filling, sealing the edges well.

5. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 3: Bake

1. Arrange the stuffed cookies on the baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one.

2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.

3. Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Tips for the Best Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Chill the dough before baking if it becomes too soft — this helps the cookies maintain their shape.

• Don’t overfill the cookies or they might burst during baking.

• Add extra chocolate chips inside the dough for an even more chocolatey experience!

How to Store Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Store your cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage — just thaw and enjoy when needed!
