Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Cheesecake Filling by combining the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Freeze mixture into small balls for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Make Cookie Dough by beating butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix in vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and fold into the wet mixture, then stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Chill Cookie Dough for 15-20 minutes, then preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Assemble Cookies by flattening cookie dough, placing a cheesecake ball in the center, and sealing the dough around it.
  5. Bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are golden brown. Allow to cool before transferring to wire racks.
  6. Serve and Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or chocolate syrup.
