Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Serving: Enjoy these cookies warm, when the chocolate chips are still gooey and the cheesecake filling is creamy.
Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. They can also be refrigerated for up to a week.
Variations
Chocolate Dough: You can add cocoa powder to the dough to create a double chocolate chip cookie with the cheesecake center.
Flavored Cheesecake Filling: Try adding a spoonful of fruit preserves like strawberry or raspberry to the cheesecake filling for a fruity twist.
Add-ins: If you’re a fan of nuts, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough for an extra crunch.
FAQ
1. Can I freeze these cookies? Yes! You can freeze the unbaked stuffed cookie dough balls. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough balls on a baking sheet and bake as usual, adding a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.

2. Can I use store-bought cookie dough? While homemade dough is recommended for the best results, you can use store-bought cookie dough. Just make sure to form the dough into small disks and stuff them with the cheesecake filling as directed.

3. What if the cheesecake filling is too soft? If the cheesecake filling seems too soft to handle, chill it longer in the fridge until it firms up. You want it firm enough to stay inside the cookie dough.
