Ingredients:

For the cheesecake filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the chocolate chip cookies:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Prepare the cheesecake filling:

1. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Make the chocolate chip cookie dough:

2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
4. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Assemble the stuffed cookies:

7. Form the cookie dough balls: Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly and place a small spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center.
8. Seal the cookies: Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the cheesecake filling, sealing it inside, and roll it into a ball again. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and cheesecake filling.
9. Chill the dough: Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to help them hold their shape while baking.

Bake the cookies:

10. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after removing them from the oven, so be careful not to overbake.
11. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:

12. Serve and enjoy: Serve these warm and gooey cheesecake-stuffed chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or enjoy them as a delicious treat for any occasion.

Notes:

• Cheesecake Filling Variations: You can add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the cheesecake filling for a slightly tangy twist.
• Cookie Dough Variations: Use milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or a mix of your favorite chocolate to customize these cookies to your taste.
• Make-Ahead: The cookie dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the stuffed dough balls for up to 3 months and bake them straight from frozen.
• Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
