- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Step1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and ensures even baking.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, beating until creamy.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- The mixture should have a creamy, spreadable texture.
Step4: Assemble the Cookies
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and flatten them slightly.
- Place a teaspoon of cheesecake filling in the center.
- Cover with another piece of cookie dough, sealing the edges.
Step5: Bake to Perfection
- Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
