Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

I often prepare them,  for breakfast, with a glass of milk,  for snack with a cup of tea or coffee, or whenever I crave for something sweet… I could eat them all the time.  I like that they are simple, yet so delicious.

My family and I prefer cookies that are not too sweet, but you can always add some sugar, if you wish.

I usually make double dose of Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies so that we can enjoy them for a few days.

Instead of mini chocolate chips, you can use pecans, M and M candies, sprinkles, Oreo cookies or any ingredient that you like, and make your perfect combination.

You can make a double dose, or two or more combinations. In that way you get a couple of different tastes, from one piece of dough.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies are soft, and they melt in your mouth. Kids love them as much as grownups, they are perfect for the whole family.

How to make Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies?

In a medium bowl combine flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Leave aside. In a large bowl mix butter and cream cheese, with an electric mixer on medium speed, until it is fine and creamy. After that add an egg, milk and vanilla extract and continue mixing.

Then, add powder sugar and mix some more until the mixture is fluffy. Put in dry ingredients and mix until you get fine dough. Finally, add mini chocolate chips and stir well. Leave in fridge for an hour. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Take the dough out of the fridge. Shape it into balls (24-26 balls). Place them in the baking sheets, 1.5 inch apart. Flatten the balls using your hands or some firm object.

Sprinkle some mini chocolate chip, if you wish. Bake for 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and leave to cool in the baking sheets for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely.

So tasty, delicious and easy to make! I love this Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies because they aren’t too sweet and heavy (100 Calories per cookie).

NOTES:

To keep the freshness you can store them in airtight container. Cookies can be frozen up to one month if stored correctly! I wouldn’t recommend storing cookies in the fridge, because they will lose the softness and freshness.  

You can add cream cheese for more flavor.

I used cornstarch for this recipe in order to get the fine texture of cookies, but you can use flour as a substitute for cornstarch, in proportion 2:1.

You can use potato starch instead of corn flour. If you have some allergic to egg, you can replace egg with 1/2 of mashed bananas, 3 tablespoons of puree apple.. then it’s necessary to add another 1/2 tsp of baking powder.

Also you can use blueberries and M&M’S instead of chocolate chips. I used 1.5 – 2 tbsp of dough. Cookie size is about 2.5 inches. 

Feel free to substitute coconut flour for all-purpose flour at a 1:4 ratio, and add 1 egg for every 1/4 cup coconut flour.

WELL, THIS WAS JUST A SHORT VERSION OF THE RECIPE THAT YOU CAN FIND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST, ALONG WITH THE QUANTITIES OF THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS.

    Oh, my goodness. These sound SO GOOD and easy to make! We love cheesecake because it isn’t too sweet so these sound perfect.

    Your photographs add fuel to the fire.

    Going to make them. I first need to go get some of the ingredients I don’t have.

          Is the carb ratio correct? .028 grams of carbs per cookie? That’s what 28 milligrams would be, right? I’m struggling to believe this is accurate.

    These really look delicious! It’s interesting to me that the recipe calls for 1/4 cup cornstarch. Does that cause the texture to be lighter?

      Hi Maribeth,

      Thank you, glad you like it. Main purpose of cornstarch is to cause a fine texture of cookies.

        I’m out of cornstarch, so I looked up on the Internet for substitutes and I found ground flaxseed. I made these cookies once before and they were delicious! I will get back to you to let you know how the flaxseed work.

      If you want to use brown instead of powdered sugar, you can add 1 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

    These were great! Perfect soft texture and just enough cheese-cake feel for a cookie. I put cream cheese frosting on top of them and they were to die for!

    Question what would happen if you used 6oz of cream cheese. Also I would like to try and make pumpkin how would I go about doing this . thanks

    Toni

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Hi Toni,

      If you want to add 2 oz of cream cheese more, you need to add 1/4 cup of sugar more.
      If you want to make pumpkin cookies, I recommend to try http://sweetspicykitchen.com/cookies/soft-chocolate-chip-pumpkin-cookies/

    I made these with tofu cream cheese. Delicious! One problem, the dough was really sticky so I ended up with not so nice looking blobs.

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Hi Holly,

      Yes, they are delicious 🙂 Maybe it’s about tofu cream cheese. I didn’t have that kind of experience with cream cheese.

    Hello, we are trying to minimize or avoid sugar or artificial sweeteners. If we use honey or coconur sugat, how much will we need for this recipe? Thank you

      Hi Lisa,

      I didn’t make on that way, but you can try with powdered coconut sugar instead of powdered sugar in proportion 1:1.

    I just ate 6 in a row of my first batch ever: the best cookies I have ever made (taste, texture). I am no expert- not even intermediate level- at cooking cookies, but this recipe was easy to prepare, yet better than all the others I have tried.

    I followed one of the replacement suggestion: instead of mini chocolate chips, I put Oreo cookies. I bought cream cheese and Oreo cookies just to try this recipe. I thought it would do a great taste, and it is perfect for the texture and taste of the cookies. I put 6 whole Oreo cookies in a plastic sandwich bag, put the bag on my cuting board, took a ladle and hit the cookies to crumbles.

    I don’t do cookies much (I find muffin recipes are easier to make), but this recipe I will do again for sure!

    Hello,
    These cookies were so good and the perfect amount of sweetness. I do have a question is the cheesecake part supposed to be a strong flavor. Mine reminded me of a butter cookie but still really good

      Yes, but its a matter of taste and personal perception of it.

    How can I replace sugar witg honey?

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Hi Maie,

      If you want to replace sugar with honey, you need to follow this rules:

      1. For every 1 cup of sugar, substitute 1/2 to 3/4 cup of honey.
      2. For every 1 cup of honey you’re using, subtract 1/4 cup of other liquids from the recipe.
      3. Add 1/4 tps baking soda for every 1 cup honey used.
      4. Reduce the temperature of the oven by 25°F.

    Hi Dragana! I made this last night and they were Delicious! So soft and they kinda do melt in your mouth! On the last batch, I put a sprinkling of fine sea salt on top of each cookie. Yum! I was wondering, What other combos could you sue to make these instead of just the mini chocolate chips? I am definitely keeping this in my rotation! The are hard to resist!

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Thank you Brie.
      I’m so glad you liked it. You use some sprinkles, M&M’s, blueberries or anything else similar.

    If I try them again I would probably do 8 Oz cream cheese, 1/2 c butter, NO cornstarch and the standard 1 1/2c flour amount, granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla. AND SALT! Good gravy, why do these not have any salt in them? I made the mistake of using semi sweet chocolate chips, the recipe does not indicate cocoa level. Next time I would do milk chocolate, but that’s just a personal preference. I did enjoy how soft they were though.

    I made the chocolate chip cheese cake cookies with and without chocolate chips. I put a few walnuts on some and chocolate chips in the other. The chocolate chips cookies need a few extra minutes to cook. Great recipe.

    I made these in twice, the first batch was great, light and fluffy, but lacked flavor. The second batch I split the flour, 1/2 almond flour and half great flour. This added flavor and a slightly more dense middle that would be more consistent with cheesecake, still light and fluffy!

    I make cookies at least once a week for my husband to take to work. I decided to give these a try, so glad I did! The guys at work raved about them! So, I made them 2 weeks in a row. Because you mentioned in your comments that they weren’t real sweet, I decided to roll them in granulated sugar before baking. Wow! They are a little crisp on the outside & so soft in the inside. Everyone LOVES them!! Great recipe! Thank you so much for sharing.

    These are amazing! I make cookies almost every week for my husband’s lunch. I like to try new recipes & decided to try these, they did not disappoint! When I read they weren’t as sweet as some cookies, I rolled each cookie ball in granulated sugar before baking. The result was perfect, extra crisp on the outside, soft on the inside! My husband & his work buddies love them! Thank you for sharing!

    These cookies are yummy on their own, but I made them for a friend’s birthday, so I wanted to zhoozsh them up a bit. So I thought about what I like to top a cheesecake with, and for me, it’s always a sweetened sour cream mixture. So why not a sour cream icing for these cookies? Perfect!

    For a double batch of cookies , mix 1/4 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, a pinch of salt, and about 3 cups of sifted powdered sugar. Dip the tops of each cookie in the icing, then let dry on a rack.

    I doubled my recipe and followed it to a T and they have no flavor. They stayed in a ball shape after they were baked, they did not flatten out at all. What did I do wrong?

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Hi Nancy,

      maybe you added too much flour or you may have kept the dough in the fridge for too long before baking. You can always add cream cheese for more flavor.

    hi i made this recipe and the dough was very sticky even though i chilled it for an hour in the fridge. is there any reason why i don’t know if i did something wrong

    1. Dragana Avatar

      If the dough is so sticky, you need to add a little flour to it. Make sure that your hands and your work surface are coated in a light dusting of flour, and add a few teaspoons of flour at a time. This will get rid of the stickiness.

    I made these today and they are bland. You can’t taste the cream cheese at all. They taste more like a plain biscuit than a cookie. I can’t serve them as a dessert to my guests.

    1. Dragana Avatar

      Hi Pam,

      These are more cookies than a classic dessert. We made a note that you can add more cream cheese for more flavor.
      Cookies are better for breakfast because they have a mild taste.

    Hi
    I made these cookies several times a few years ago and they were amazing.
    Tried making them twice this week bumt the mixture was like a wet bread dough, difficult to shape and when baked, had a crusty, cracked top. I checked my measurements and all were correct.
    I noticed that the recipe was updated a few days ago. Were there changes to the ingredients? Thanks.

    1. Dragana Avatar

      No Sarah, we didn’t update recipe ingredients, I only add some tips:
      You can add cream cheese for more flavor.
      I used cornstarch in order to get the fine texture of cookies.

    question: how do you get the dough to not stick to your hand so much? do you use butter or something?

    also you should update your time estimate to include the hour you leave them in the fridge

    thank you for sharing your awesome recipe 🙂

    We love these cookies. I’ve made them multiple times. My husband just requested them again. The only things I have done differently is roll them in granular before baking & now that we live over 6,000′ I add some dry vanilla pudding mix. They’re delicious! Thank you for sharing!
