  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Scoop into small balls and freeze for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Beat butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold into wet ingredients, then stir in chocolate chips.
  4. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
  5. Flatten a portion of dough, place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, and seal dough around it.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 13–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool slightly on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Freezing the cheesecake filling makes assembly easier. Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
