Ingredients
Ingredients
- 250 g Cream cheese softened
- 50 g Sugar for filling
- 1 Egg for filling
- 60 g Chocolate chips for dough
- 100 g Butter softened
- 100 g Sugar for dough
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract for dough
- 200 g All-purpose flour sifted
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 50g sugar and the egg, mixing until well combined. Chill the filling for easier handling.
- In another bowl, cream together 100g butter and 100g sugar. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out a portion of dough, flatten it slightly, place a small amount of cheesecake filling in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Seal completely.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overmixing the filling and dough to prevent dense cookies. Chill if the dough feels too sticky.
