You’ll need:

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ⅓ cup cornstarch
• ½ cup salted butter, softened
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• ½ cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more to top the cookies if desired

Substitutions And Additions

MIX-INS: Instead of mini chocolate chips, add pecans, M&M candies, sprinkles, toffee bits, or crushed Oreo cookies to your cookie dough.

How To Make This Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

STEP ONE: In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cornstarch. Whisk together, then set aside.

STEP TWO: In a large bowl, with an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes on medium speed).

STEP THREE: Add vanilla extract and eggs and beat together until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.

STEP FOUR: Add powdered sugar and continue beating to combine and make a fluffy batter.

STEP FIVE: Turn the mixer on low speed and gradually add the dry ingredients and the heavy cream and mix to combine.

STEP SIX: Beat in ½ cup of mini chocolate chips just until combined.

STEP SEVEN: Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

STEP EIGHT: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. 

STEP NINE: Use a cookie scoop to make balls from the chilled dough. Space cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

Place the cookie sheets into the freezer for 5 minutes.

STEP TEN: After 5 minutes, remove each baking sheet from the freezer and quickly roll each ball of dough between the palms of your hands to form a smooth ball.

Press each ball gently on the top to flatten slightly. Sprinkle additional mini chips over the tops of the cookie dough.

STEP ELEVEN: Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until the dough has spread into smooth cookies and the cookies are just barely beginning to brown on the bottom edges. 

STEP TWELVE: Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool.

How To Serve

These would be a sweet treat to add to holiday cookie trays. Everyone will love the creamy cheesecake flavor.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ⅓ cup cornstarch
• ½ cup salted butter, softened
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• ½ cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more to top the cookies if desired

Instructions

 

• In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cornstarch. Whisk together, then set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes on medium speed).
• Add vanilla extract and eggs and beat together until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl.
• Add in powdered sugar and continue beating to combine and make a fluffy batter.
• Turn the mixer on low and gradually add the dry ingredients and the heavy cream and mix to combine.
• Beat in ½ cup of mini chocolate chips just until combined.
• Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use a cookie scoop to make balls from the chilled dough. Space 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Place the cookie sheets into the freezer for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, remove the cookie sheet from the freezer and quickly roll each ball of dough between the palms of your hands to form a smooth ball. Press each ball gently on the top to flatten slightly. Sprinkle additional mini chips over the tops of the cookie dough.
• Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until the dough has spread into smooth cookies, and the cookies are just barely beginning to brown on the bottom edges.
• Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have any lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
• The dough is really sticky. You could chill for longer, but for the quickest finished cookies, chill for just 30 minutes in the refrigerator – which makes the dough manageable enough to scoop and then blast chill it in the freezer to make it manageable enough to roll into smooth balls.
• The smooth balls and flattening them a little bit really makes a picture-perfect cookie and also help them to bake evenly.
