Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Scoop small dollops onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing gently. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop a portion of cookie dough, flatten slightly. Place a cheesecake dollop in the center and cover with more dough, sealing the edges.
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and center is soft.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
