Ingredients

• 1 Cup Unsalted Brown Butter
• 1 1/4 Cups Packed Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Sugar
• 2 Large Eggs (Room Temp)
• 2 Tsp Vanilla
• 2 1/2 Cups of All Purpose Flour(Spoon & Leveled)
• 1 Tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1/2 Cup Oreo Crumbs)

Cheesecake Filling

6 oz Cream Cheese

2oz Semisweet Chocolate (Melted)

3 Tbsp Sugar

1 Tbsp Dark Cocoa Powder(sifted)

1/2 Tsp Vanilla

Instructions

1. Begin by making your cheesecake filling. The cream cheese must be room temp. In a stand mixer or handheld mixer beat the cream cheese, cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla until smooth for about 3 to 5 minutes. Once it is combined add the melted cooled chocolate and mix until combined
2. On parchment paper drop 1/2 Tablespoon dallops of cheesecake filling and freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Next cut butter into cubes. In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
4. Once your brown butter has cooled in a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
5. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
6. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
7. Add chocolate chips and mix until combined.
8. Cookies need to be baked right away this dough does not refrigerate well.
9. Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use an ice cream scoop. Flatten the cookie dough and place a dallop of cheesecake filling in the center. Wrap the cookie dough around the cheesecake filling closing it out. Cover the top of each cookie with oreo crumbs. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
11. When cookies are ready you can fix the shape with a large round cookie cutter or a big measuring cup.(Videos on my insta for reference)
12. When you fix the shape of your cookies if you choose to its totally optional add more crumbs and chocolate chips to the top! .

TIPS

1. Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
