Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  6. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly and create an indentation in the center.
  8. Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each cookie.
  9. Top each cookie with an additional scoop of cookie dough, covering the cream cheese filling.
  10. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy these delicious cheesecake-filled chocolate chip cookies as a delightful dessert or share them with friends and family for a special treat.
