1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions

2. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
5. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Scoop cookie dough, flatten slightly, place frozen cheesecake filling in the center, and seal with more dough.
7. Roll into balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 11–13 minutes until edges are golden.
9. Let cool slightly before serving for best texture.
Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft to handle.
Keep the cheesecake filling frozen until ready to use for easier assembly.
Slightly underbake for a softer, gooey center.
