👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the filling

   • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
   • Scoop small spoonfuls (about 1 tsp each) onto a parchment-lined tray.
   • Freeze for 30–45 minutes (they should be firm).

2. Make the cookie dough

   • Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
   • Beat in eggs and vanilla.
   • Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
   • Fold in chocolate chips.

3. Assemble the cookies

   • Scoop a ball of cookie dough, flatten it slightly in your palm.
   • Place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center.
   • Cover with more dough and seal edges so the filling is hidden.

4. Bake

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place stuffed cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
   • Bake 11–13 minutes, until golden on edges but soft in the middle.

5. Cool & enjoy

   • Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
   • Serve warm for gooey centers or chilled for a firmer cheesecake bite.
