Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the cheesecake filling

- Add the egg and vanilla, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
3️⃣ Assemble the cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Take a scoop of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a frozen cheesecake filling in the center.
- Cover with another piece of dough and seal the edges, ensuring the cheesecake is fully enclosed.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
4️⃣ Bake & Enjoy

- Let them cool slightly before indulging… if you can wait! 😋
