Cream Cheese Stuffed Chocolate Cookies Recipes

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make the Fudgy Frosting: Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Stir in the sugar, cocoa, and salt. (It may look grainy or sandy.) In a bowl combine the cream, sour cream and coffee. Whisk into the cocoa mixture and continue heating on low while stirring to dissolve the sugar grains. The mixture should get hot to the touch but never simmer or boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool until it thickens and becomes spreadable, about 3 hours. If too thin, stir in some confectioners' sugar.
• Make the Filling: In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla and blend. Add the chips and mix a few seconds on low to just fold in.
• Make the Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a large measuring cup combine the water, oil, vinegar, instant coffee, and vanilla. Whisk it into the dry ingredients until just combined and don't worry if there are a few lumps.
• Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake papers and fill each 2/3 full of batter. Drop a heaping teaspoon of the filling into the center of each. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely. Frost the cupcakes with the frosting.

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
• In another small bowl, whisk the egg, yolk, corn syrup, and vanilla.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter, shortening, and sugars on medium-high speed until smooth and lightened in color, about 2 minutes.
• On medium speed, add the egg-yolk mixture and beat just until combined.
• Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients.
• Stop the mixer once there are still some streaks of flour left, then continue mixing by hand with a flexible spatula.
• Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or measuring spoons, scoop about 36 balls of dough onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten the dough into thick discs with your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup. If the dough is super sticky, wet your hands before pressing on the portioned dough. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• To make the filling, whisk the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator while the cookie dough chills.
• Remove the cookie discs from the refrigerator, then press them down so they are about 2 1/2 inches wide. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the middle of each one.
• With your hands, gently stretch the cookie dough over the filling and roll the ball in your hands until the filling is surrounded by the cookie dough.
• Place additional granulated sugar in a small bowl, then roll each cookie dough in the sugar before returning to the baking sheets and placing in the freezer for 1 hour (this will prevent the cookies from spreading in the oven). Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. The cookies are done, when they look dry and slightly crinkly on top.
• Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before enjoying.

STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and toast for about 5 minutes until it turns brown and smells nutty. Pour the brown butter into a large bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes to cool before starting to make the dough.
• To the bowl with the cooled butter, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and yogurt. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
• Add the egg and egg yolk and beat again until fluffy and well-combined.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift ⅓ of the dry ingredients at a time into the wet ingredients. Beat just until incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula between each addition. Make sure not to overmix.
• Add the chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips to the dough and gently fold just to incorporate. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can also store the stuffings in the fridge so they're easier to work with later.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet (or 2) with parchment paper.
• Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out 3 tablespoons of chilled dough and flatten out into a ¼-inch (6 mm) thick circle.
• Add 1 tablespoon of your stuffing of choice, such as caramel, cookie butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, or peanut butter, to the center of the dough round, and fold the edges of the dough around the stuffing. Seal tightly and roll into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough and stuffings.
• To the outside of the cookie dough balls, add your choice of toppings, such as mini marshmallows, chopped candy bar, chocolate chips, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, white chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, pretzel pieces, or crushed potato chips. Press the toppings firmly into the dough, so they don't fall off. Repeat with the remaining stuffed cookie dough balls.
• Place the stuffed and decorated cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet approximately 3 inches (7 cm) apart, so the cookies don't spread into one another. You may need to use 2 baking sheets.
• Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and evenly spread.
• Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before devouring!
• Enjoy!

GIANT CHEESECAKE STUFFED CHOCOLATE THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, add the whole egg and beat until just combined. Add the vanilla and beat until just combined.
• Add half the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks and white chocolate chips. Put the sanding sugar in a shallow bowl or plate.
• Scoop eight 1/3 cup-size balls of dough. Working with one at a time, shape each ball into a 1 1/2-inch-tall cylinder, then use your thumb to make a sturdy 1-inch-deep well that is about 1 inch across. Roll the dough in the sanding sugar to completely coat and place on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough and sanding sugar, spacing out 4 cookies per sheet. Put the baking sheets in the freezer until the cookies are thoroughly chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour. (If you do not have space in your freezer to accommodate both baking sheets, line a plate with parchment and place the cookie dough onto the plate to chill. Transfer to the prepared sheets once chilled.)
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Just before the cookie dough is completely chilled, add the cream cheese to a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed to soften. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth, then add the remaining egg yolk, the lemon zest and the remaining pinch of salt and beat on medium speed until completely smooth, light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the cheesecake into the well of each cookie so that it comes just up to the top. (Alternatively, you can use a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag to fill the cookies.)
• Bake the cookies until the cheesecake is set and the cookies are crispy on top, chewy in the middle and turning darker on the bottom, rotating the pans halfway through, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

CHEESECAKE-STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a small bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until thoroughly combined. Chill filling until ready to use.
• Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating until blended, about 30 seconds.
• Stir 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed, until just blended. Beat in chocolate chips until just combined. Refrigerate dough until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Use a medium, or 2-tablespoon, cookie scoop to place 8 scoops of the cookie dough on one of the prepared baking sheets, spaced 3 inches apart. Gently flatten each scoop to about 3 inches in diameter. Drop 2 teaspoonfuls of the cream cheese filling in the center of each cookie. Gently wrap the dough around the cream cheese and shape into a ball; press the cookies down slightly. Keep remaining dough and filling chilled.
• Bake the first batch in the preheated oven until golden and set around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and cream cheese mixture.
