Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my new FAVORITE chocolate chip cookie:
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bites.
My husband, yes my husband, (I know right! Can you believe he cooked something!?) made these a few months ago and I fell in pure love! I can’t even tell you how many times he’s made these since that day. It’s kinda sad how fast we go through batches of these chocolate chip cheesecake cookies.
They taste amazing fresh from the oven but I prefer them right out of the refrigerator for that dense, moist, cheesecake, cold cookie dough texture. The cream cheese makes these cookies stay so soft. I still have 4 left in the refrigerator that was made a week ago and they still taste incredible.
It’s easy to eat a whole batch without even realizing it because they are so tiny and light so be careful. You’ve been warned.
These cookies also make GREAT gifts… I’m just saying….like….in case you ever wanted to send me a gift.
Watch us make these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bites
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bites
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 10 tablespoons butter softened (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 ounces chocolate chip
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine butter, sugar, egg, cream cheese, and vanilla.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing after each addition until the flour in incorporated. I prefer to do this step by hand.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Use a mini ice cream scoop and drop dough by the spoonful onto an ungreased, nonstick cookie sheet, at least 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly golden brown around edges.
- Place on a cooling rack to let cool completely
- Store in the refrigerator. (they also taste great right out of the oven!)
Notes
Store them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
They don't spread much so it's safe to put them close together.
Be careful not to overbake.
For a smoother-looking cookie, roll them in your hands after you've scooped them out with the mini ice cream scoop.

I totally love these cookies – they are by far the best I’ve ever eaten!
A friend of mine made these and gave me the link. As I am from Germany, I had to do some research to “translate” the recipe to our baking habits 😉
Furthermore, I made a vegan version. But it’s the cream cheese respectively its substitute that made these cookies so yummy yummy moist and soft staying which I love so much but never could succeed in cookies.
So THANKYOU SOO MUCH for sharing! 🙂
By the way, here’s what I did. Just in case some Europeans or anyone else would like to try an inspiration…
– 250 g Mehl/flour
– 1/2 TL Salz/1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 gestrichener TL Backpulver/1 small teaspoon of baking powder
– 150 g Margarine/margarine
– 80 g Joghurt oder Sojajoghurt/jogurt or soy jogurt
– 30 g Milch oder Haferdrink/milk or oats drink
– 120 g Zucker/sugar
– 1 Pk. Vanillezucker/1 package of vanilla sugar
– Chocolate Chips oder Raspelschokolade/as much chocolate as you want!
Made this fpor around 8 minutes/ 180 °C. Gave them away as a present and everyone loved them :-* But how couldn’t you!
Can’t even begin to tell you how much my family loves this recipe!! We usually use 6 oz of cream cheese instead of 4 to make them a little more cheesecake-y, but otherwise, these are always a hit!
sOOOOOOOO good!
I did half butter and half olive oil but it still turned out great. You can’t “taste” the cream cheese, but it lends a smooth creamy texture to the final cookie that is utterly divine. I did make full sized cookies so I had to double the baking time to 12 min, just FYI if anyone else wants to make larger cookies.
May i ask what butter to use? Unsalted or salted butter?
YUMM!!! These were so fantastic, stayed so moist even though they really werent around that long <3
I love watching your vids, you make me wanna bake, it’s fun! This is an adorable vid of you both, it’s nice to see your husband gets in on the baking too 😀 Keep making vids, you’re great! I’ll be trying these soon 🙂
Do these wonderful little cookies freeze well?
FYI – sugar is a dry ingredient.
Ummm no, you most usually cream the butter, eggs and sugar when baking.
It s a good basic recipe, but it lacked any kind of cheesecake flavor. The chocolate chips were the overwhelming ingredient. Since I love chocolate chips, this is not a horrible thing.
These cookies were soooo good! People kept coming back for more at the bake sale! I substituted butterscotch chips and they tasted magical 🙂
this video was so funny
I made these cookies yesterday and they were great. Everyone loved them. I will be making more this weekend. I will trying more recipies!

So I made these last night for a few friends to have for our weekend picnic. I’m not so sure they are gonna last, and I may have to make a whole new batch. These things are the cookie version of pringles, ‘Once you pop, you can’t stop’! LOL

Best recipe ever. Came out perfect even at high altitude:)
this is by FAR my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe ever! These are so light, yet so rich in taste! They stay soft for long and that is always what I look for in chocolate chip cookies. Last time i baked them, i got a lot of compliments!

You’re Amazing !!
may you please tell which kind of cream cheese you’re using in whole of your resipes?

Hey.
I made these tonight (I actually have a batch in the oven as I type this). And I LOVE them. I have always liked cookies and that cookie dough taste and texture and I absolutely LOVE cheesecake anything. So this was the most perfect recipe for me. I did cut down on the chocolate chips in the second batch, just my personal preference, I don’t like too many chips in my cookies, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly.
Thanks for this recipe. I love it.
hi, i made these, and they look good out of the oven. I was unsure about the light color, but the bottom was done, and they slid right off my baking paper.
Thanks for the recipe, waiting for them to cool now =)
ps: my son is trying to eat them hot out of the oven =)
