Ingredients
113 g cream cheese

1 tsp vanilla extract
315 g all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
170 g unsalted butter (softened)
150 g brown sugar
100 g granulated sugar
2 large eggs
200 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
60 g chopped chocolate (for topping)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop teaspoon-sized balls and freeze for 30–45 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, then the remaining vanilla extract, mixing well.
4. Gradually stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Scoop large cookie dough balls and flatten them in your hand.
7. Place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely.
8. Repeat with remaining dough and chill all assembled cookies for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
10. Bake chilled cookies for 12–14 minutes until golden on the edges.
11. Let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy the gooey center.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese balls are fully frozen before stuffing to prevent leakage during baking.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
Chill the assembled dough balls before baking—this keeps them from spreading too much.
