These Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies are a delightful fusion of creamy cheesecake and classic chocolate chip cookies. Soft, chewy, and slightly tangy from the cream cheese, they offer a unique twist on a beloved treat. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

4 oz cream cheese, softened

¾ cup light brown sugar, packed

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1¾ cups all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1¼ cups mini or regular chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, and cream until light and well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly with a spatula or spoon.
  5. Scoop dough using a tablespoon or medium cookie scoop and place on the prepared baking sheets. If time allows, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Add-ins: Substitute chocolate chips with other chips such as white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch chips.
  • Nuts: Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Mini Cookies: Use a teaspoon to scoop out the dough for smaller cookies. Adjust baking time to 8-10 minutes.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Microwave for 10-15 seconds or bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
