Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; use for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the cookies; honey or agave can be substituted.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Adds moisture and depth of flavor; dark brown sugar enhances caramel notes.
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Gives richness; ensure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 2 large Eggs Bind ingredients and add moisture; can replace with flaxseed meal for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; using pure over imitation makes a delightful difference.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and texture; opt for dark or white chocolate based on your taste.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese The star ingredient; use full-fat for a creamy, rich filling.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the cheesecake; swap with stevia for a lower sugar version.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Adds tanginess; Greek yogurt is an excellent alternative for a lighter filling.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add in two large eggs and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually mix in 3 cups of all-purpose flour along with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a pinch of salt. Stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup sour cream until smooth.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, flatten a portion of cookie dough in your hand, place a small dollop of cheesecake filling in the center, and reshape it into a ball.
  8. Place the formed cookie balls on your prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm to enjoy the delightful creaminess inside.
