Instructions
Creating Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
7. Form Cookie Bites: Take a small amount of cookie dough (about a tablespoon) and flatten it in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the cheesecake filling in the center and fold the dough around it, rolling it into a ball.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked; that’s okay!
10. Cool: Allow the cookie bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Optional Topping: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled cookie bites for an extra chocolatey touch.
