Ingredients

  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate for coating
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil optional, for thinning chocolate

Instructions

Step 1: Cream the Base

  • Start by softening the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat everything together until the mixture is light and fluffy—this will create the rich cheesecake flavor that forms the foundation of your bites.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. These dry ingredients add that classic cookie dough texture and balance the sweetness with a hint of saltiness.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to fold in the flour mixture gently until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; you want the texture to be soft but firm enough to shape.

Step 4: Add Mini Chocolate Chips

  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly. These tiny morsels will provide delightful chocolate bursts throughout the cheesecake cookie dough.

Step 5: Form the Bites

  • Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to space them apart so they don’t stick together.

Step 6: Chill the Bites

  • Place the baking sheet with the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step is crucial for making sure they hold their shape during the chocolate coating process.

Step 7: Melt the Chocolate

  • In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate. If the chocolate is too thick for dipping, stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to thin it out and create a smooth coating.

Step 8: Coat the Bites

  • One by one, dip the chilled cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate, using a fork or spoon to ensure they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.

Step 9: Final Chill

  • Return the coated bites to the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to set completely.

Step 10: Serve and Enjoy

  • Once set, your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bites are ready to enjoy! Keep them chilled and serve as a fun, bite-sized dessert.
