Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
½ cup softened butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Layer:
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
For Topping:
12 whole OREO cookies
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for best results.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough onto the sheet, flattening each slightly. Add a spoonful of cheesecake filling on top and press an OREO cookie onto each.
4. Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the center remains soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Enjoy these rich, chewy, and creamy cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee!
