Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2. 3/4 cup brown sugar
3. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
4. 1 large egg
5. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6. 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
7. 1 tsp baking soda
8. A pinch of salt
9. 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

For the Cheesecake Filling:

1. 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
3. 1 tsp vanilla extract
4. 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

Instructions:

1. Make the Chocolate Chip Cookies:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
   • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
   • Stir in the chocolate chips.
   • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
   • Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully incorporated. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   • Once the cookies are completely cooled, pair them up based on size.
   • Take one cookie from each pair and spread or pipe a generous amount of cheesecake filling onto its flat side.
   • Top with the second cookie (flat side facing the filling) and gently press down to form a sandwich.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Store any leftover sandwiches in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese filling. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to achieve the best flavor and texture.

This dessert is a delightful blend of two favorites, making it perfect for special occasions, gatherings, or when you’re simply in the mood for something truly indulgent. Enjoy!
