Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and beat until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a small spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center.
  9. Top with another tablespoon of dough, seal the edges, and shape into a ball.
  10. Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  11. Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
  12. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Make sure cream cheese is cold when stuffing to make assembly easier.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unbaked stuffed dough balls for up to 2 months; bake from frozen with an extra minute or two.
