Assembly & Baking
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined plate and freeze while preparing the dough.Beat butter and sugars until creamy and well combined.Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture.Stir in chocolate chips.Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and form a ball. Create a small crater in the center.Place a frozen cheesecake scoop inside and wrap dough completely around it.Chill cookie dough balls briefly to prevent spreading.Bake at 375°F (190°C) until edges are lightly golden.Cool completely before serving to allow the cheesecake center to set.These Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are best when the centers are creamy and the edges are perfectly chewy.
