Make these rich, soft chocolate chip cookies featuring a creamy, tangy cheesecake center. This recipe delivers two favorite desserts in one satisfying bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. To assemble the cookies, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place one 1-inch cube of the filling cream cheese in the center.
  8. Carefully wrap the dough around the cream cheese cube, sealing it completely to form a ball. Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best creamy center, make sure the cream cheese filling cubes are very cold before wrapping them in the dough.
  • If you prefer a swirl effect instead of a stuffed center, mix the 8 ounces of cubed cream cheese directly into the dough along with the chocolate chips.
  • This recipe makes indulgent cookie recipes that are perfect for parties.
