🍪 Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie with Creamy Vanilla Filling

This is a bakery-style, thick, gooey cookie stuffed with a smooth vanilla cream center — crispy edges, soft center, and a surprise inside.

🧁 Ingredients

For the Vanilla Filling

  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp heavy cream (for smoothness)

For the Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

🥣 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Filling

  1. Beat cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla.
  3. Add heavy cream until creamy but thick.
  4. Scoop into 1–2 tbsp portions onto parchment paper.
  5. Freeze for 30–45 minutes (until firm).

2️⃣ Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  2. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
  3. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Chill dough for 30 minutes (recommended for thicker cookies).

3️⃣ Assemble

  1. Scoop about 2 tbsp cookie dough and flatten in your hand.
  2. Place frozen vanilla filling in the center.
  3. Cover with another flattened dough piece.
  4. Seal edges completely and roll into a ball.

4️⃣ Bake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • Place cookies 2–3 inches apart
  • Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are golden
  • Centers should look slightly underbaked
  • Cool 10 minutes before serving

✨ Pro Tips

  • For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake.
  • For thicker cookies, chill assembled dough 15 minutes before baking.
  • Add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
