Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
For the cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Scoop cookie dough onto prepared sheets, flatten slightly, place about one tablespoon of cheesecake filling in the center, cover with more dough, and seal edges.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
