🍪 Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

✨ Introduction

Imagine the warmth and chewiness of a classic chocolate chip cookie, but as you bite in, you’re met with a cool, creamy center of sweet cheesecake. It’s two iconic desserts wrapped into one decadent treat. Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are the dessert you never knew you needed but now won’t be able to live without. These cookies are perfect for celebrations, gifts, or simply indulging in the comfort of dessert fusion.

🕰️ A Little History

Chocolate chip cookies originated in the 1930s thanks to Ruth Wakefield, who accidentally invented them at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Meanwhile, cheesecake dates back to ancient Greece—believed to be served to athletes during the first Olympic games. Combining them? That’s a modern-day stroke of genius, born from the contemporary obsession with hybrid desserts like cronut, brookie, and now, these cookies.

🧂 Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

🍴 Equipment Needed:

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop or spoon
  • Freezer or fridge
  • Oven

🧑‍🍳 Instructions & Method

Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Scoop out teaspoon-sized mounds and place them on a parchment-lined plate.
  3. Freeze for 30–45 minutes until solid.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (optional but recommended for thicker cookies).

Step 3: Assemble the Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it into a disc.
  3. Place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center.
  4. Flatten another scoop of dough and place it on top. Seal the edges tightly to fully enclose the filling.
  5. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 11–14 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  3. Cool for 10–15 minutes before eating (the filling will be hot!).

🍰 Formation & Texture

Once baked, these cookies are golden with a slightly crisp edge and chewy center. The moment you break it open or bite into one, you get the ooze of tangy, smooth cheesecake paired with melty chocolate chips. Each bite is soft, rich, and layered in textures—a true gourmet cookie experience.
