Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 large egg yolk

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

3/4 cup (165g) brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

      - Add the flour and egg yolk, mixing until fully combined. Set aside the mixture in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cookie dough.

        Make the Cookie Dough:

          - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

            - Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.

              - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

                - Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

                  Assemble the Cookies:

                    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

                      - Take a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk in your hand. Place about a teaspoon of the chilled cheesecake filling in the center and gently fold the edges of the cookie dough over the filling to enclose it. Roll it into a ball and place it on the baking sheet.

                        - Repeat with the remaining dough and cheesecake filling, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.

                          Bake the Cookies:

                            - Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

                              - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                                Serve and Enjoy:

                                  - Once the cookies are cool, you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for an extra touch. Enjoy your decadent Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
