  • 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Eggs (Room Temp)
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1 1/4 Cups of All Purpose Flour(Spoon & Leveled)
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
    • 1/4 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 3/4 Cup Holiday Mini M&M's
  • 1/3 Cup Crushed Oreos
  • More M&M's and Oreos to Garnish

Cheesecake Filling

  • 3 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1/4 Tsp Vanilla

    • Instructions

    1. Cream cheese must be room temp so that you are able to mix it with ease.
    2. Begin by making your cheesecake filling. The cream cheese must be room temp. Using an offset spatula mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth for about 2 to 3 minutes.
    3. On parchment paper drop 1 Tablespoon dallops of cheesecake filling and freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
    4. 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.
    5. While your butter cools sift your dry ingredients.
    6. Preheat oven to 350F
    7. In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
    8. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
    9. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
    10. Add chocolate chips and M&M's and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
    11. Cookies need to be baked right away this dough does not refrigerate well.
    12. 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. Flatten the cookie 3/4 down since its loaded so it spreads. Add more Chocolate Chips on top. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
    13. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
    14. Once the 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)
    15. If you choose to fix the shape of your cookies it's totally optional. Add more chocolate chips, Oreo's and M&M pieces to the top! .
    16. Enjoy!

    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.
