# Ingredients:
→ Filling Center
01 -
12 oz cream cheese, diced
02 -
3/4 cup powdered sugar
→ Dough Mix
03 -
1 cup softened butter
04 -
1 cup packed light brown sugar
05 -
1/4 cup white sugar
06 -
1 egg and 1 extra yolk
07 -
2 tsp vanilla extract
08 -
1 tsp baking soda
09 -
1 tsp coarse salt
10 -
2 1/2 cups plain flour
11 -
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F and line a tray with parchment paper.
02 -
Blend the cream cheese cubes with powdered sugar on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl as needed. Chill this mixture in the fridge while prepping the dough.
03 -
In the same bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for about 2 minutes until the texture is fluffy. Then mix in the egg, extra yolk, vanilla, salt, and baking soda until it all combines.
04 -
Turn your mixer to low and slowly add in the flour until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks by hand until evenly spread.
05 -
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the dough, flatten each piece, and add 2 teaspoons of chilled filling to the center. Wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it completely.
06 -
Place stuffed dough balls on the lined tray with 2 inches of space between each. Bake for 9 minutes until the edges are golden and tops look just set.
07 -
Allow cookies to sit on the tray for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool fully.
# Notes:
01 -
They're amazing warm right out of the oven or reheated for 10 seconds in a microwave!
02 -
For best freshness, pop them in the fridge, though leaving them at room temperature overnight works too.
03 -
Pair with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
