Cream Cheese Stuffed Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

In these rich and decadent double chocolate chip cookies, cream cheese and chocolate are a match made in heaven. Each bite is the ideal combination of soft, chewy cookie dough and creamy, tangy filling.

Ingredients

Softened cream cheese, 4 oz
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda

Time Needed

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in a slow, steady stream until just combined.
Incorporate the chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Scoop tablespoon-sized cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Make an indentation in the centre of each dough ball with your thumb.
Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in each indentation.
Another tablespoon of cookie dough should be used to cover the cream cheese filling, pressing the edges together to seal the filling inside.
Chill the dough balls for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centres are slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
