  • 2 large eggs Room temperature for easy mixing.

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend if needed.

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend into the butter mixture until just combined.
  5. Mix in the chocolate chips to ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
  6. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Assembly
  1. Take a small portion of cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, and place a dollop of the cheesecake filling in the center.
  2. Wrap the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball.
  3. Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best texture, reheat leftover cookies in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Avoid the microwave to maintain chewiness. These cookies can be frozen; just ensure they’re in an airtight container.
