Method
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake filling for about 15 minutes to firm up.
Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Assemble and Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop a tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling into the indentation of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
