Ingredients:
For the cheesecake filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the chocolate chip cookie dough:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
Start by making the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and flour, and continue to beat until well combined. The flour helps thicken the cheesecake filling, giving it a consistency that will hold up inside the cookie. Once the filling is smooth and creamy, set it aside in the fridge to firm up a bit while you prepare the cookie dough.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until everything is well incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
