Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was going to wait a little bit longer to share these cookies with you, because I just shared another stuffed chocolate chip cookie recipe.  My baking plans this weekend were derailed, though, by what can only be referred to as The Great Cupcake Fiasco.  I’ve been working nonstop on prepping a particular cupcake recipe for you and spent quite literally all of Friday night and all of Saturday making cupcake batch after cupcake batch.

So I feel pretty fortunate that I had this recipe stowed away, otherwise I wouldn’t have even had a recipe to share today.

I find that whenever I let my photos sit for a little while and then go back to them, I don’t like them nearly as much as I originally did (and usually I don’t like them to start, I’m very very critical of my photography!).  I’m definitely not nearly as happy with these photographs as I originally was, and in the few weeks since I took them I feel like I’ve learned a lot about photography that was definitely not implemented here.  Ugh.

Ingredients

• Cheesecake Filling
• 8 oz cream cheese softened (224g)
• 1 cup powdered sugar (60g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
• Cookie Dough
• 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled at least 5-10 minutes (226g)
• 3/4 cup sugar (150g)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar tightly packed (150g)
• 2 large eggs room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
• 3 cups all-purpose flour (380g)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (340g) (I use a mix of half mini and have regular-sized chocolate chips)

Instructions

1. Prepare Cheesecake filling first by briefly warming cream cheese (about 10 seconds) to make it easy to stir, and then adding sugar and vanilla extract and stirring well.
2. Transfer bowl to freezer to chill while you prepare cookie dough.
3. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla.  Stir well.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until completely combined.
