Irresistible Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies Recipe

Irresistible Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies combine the creamy tang of cheesecake with the classic chewiness of chocolate chip cookies, creating a soft, indulgent treat perfect for any occasion. Easy to make and rich in flavor, these cookies stay moist longer thanks to their unique cream cheese base.

Ingredients

Dairy & Fats

  • Cream cheese (softened) – 8 oz (227 g)
  • Unsalted butter (softened) – 1/2 cup (113 g)
  • Egg – 1 large

Sugars

  • Granulated sugar – 3/4 cup (150 g)
  • Brown sugar (packed) – 1/2 cup (100 g)

Dry Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 1 1/4 cups (160 g)
  • Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon

Flavorings & Mix-ins

  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Chocolate chips – 1 cup (175 g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Start by softening the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy. This will be the base that guarantees your cookies are rich and tender.
  2. Mix Sugars and Eggs: Beat in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy, then add the egg and vanilla extract to bind the flavors.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and a light texture once baked.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring every cookie will have that perfect melty chocolate chance.
  6. Chill and Bake: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape, then scoop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading and to maintain perfect texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for easy mixing and smooth dough consistency.
  • Avoid overbaking; remove cookies when edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate chips for better melt and flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and fresh for up to five days.
