Decadently rich cookies that combine creamy cheesecake filling with fudgy chocolate brownie-like dough. Perfect for parties, gifting, or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  5. For the filling, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the chocolate cookie dough. Flatten each portion slightly, add a dollop of the cream cheese filling, and carefully wrap the dough around the filling to seal it.
  7. Place the stuffed dough balls on your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. Avoid overbaking!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough if it feels too soft to handle.’, ‘Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.’, ‘Ensure the cream cheese filling is fully sealed inside the dough to prevent leaks.’, ‘Experiment with mix-ins like crushed nuts or white chocolate chips for variety.’]
