- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set the mixture aside in the refrigerator.
- Make the Brownie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until well-combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a thick dough. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
- Assemble the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop brownie dough onto the baking sheet (about a tablespoon per cookie), then slightly flatten each scoop. Place a small spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center of each cookie, then cover with more brownie dough, carefully pressing to form a filled cookie shape.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool before enjoying.
