Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg yolk

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

      Make the Cookie Dough:

        - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.

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

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

              - Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

                Assemble the Cookies:

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

                    - Use a cookie scoop or spoon to take a ball of cookie dough (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten it in the palm of your hand.

                      - Add a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center, then surround it with the cookie dough, shaping it into a ball. Ensure the filling is completely enclosed.

                        - Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the lined baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.

                          Bake the Cookies:

                            - Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.

                              - Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                                Enjoy:

                                  - Once completely cooled, serve your delicious cheesecake stuffed chocolate chip cookies and enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors!
