Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes. Add in the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, blending gently.
  4. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
  6. Scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten slightly, place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center, top with another scoop of dough, and seal edges.
  7. Transfer cookies to the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  8. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
