Best Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies Recipes

CHEESECAKE-STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a small bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until thoroughly combined. Chill filling until ready to use.
• Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating until blended, about 30 seconds.
• Stir 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed, until just blended. Beat in chocolate chips until just combined. Refrigerate dough until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Use a medium, or 2-tablespoon, cookie scoop to place 8 scoops of the cookie dough on one of the prepared baking sheets, spaced 3 inches apart. Gently flatten each scoop to about 3 inches in diameter. Drop 2 teaspoonfuls of the cream cheese filling in the center of each cookie. Gently wrap the dough around the cream cheese and shape into a ball; press the cookies down slightly. Keep remaining dough and filling chilled.
• Bake the first batch in the preheated oven until golden and set around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and cream cheese mixture.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• With an electric mixer cream butter and sugars until nice and creamy. Add cream cheese and continue to mix until all lumps are gone and it is nice and smooth. Add vanilla and egg and mix.
• Slowly add flour, a little at a time. Add baking soda and salt and mix well, but not too much!
• Turn off your mixer and add the chocolate chips, folding by hand with a rubber spatula.
• Scoop cookie dough by the rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet; make sure they aren't too close though!
• Bake in your oven for 9-11 minutes, I do mine for 10.
• Cool on a rack and once they are all the way cool put into a plastic bag or container and keep in the fridge!
• Since they have cream cheese in them you don't want them to spoil!
• These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever! They stay nice and moist! Makes about 3 dozen.
