Ingredients

• Cream Cheese Filling
• 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Brownie Cookie Dough
• 1 box (18–19 oz / 510–540 g) brownie mix
• 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.

3. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix and flour. Add eggs, oil, and water; mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.

4. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of brownie dough and flatten slightly in your hand.

5. Place 1 tsp of cream cheese filling in the center of each dough disc. Fold dough around filling, pinching to seal and rolling into a ball.

6. Arrange stuffed dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.

7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are slightly soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

If the cream cheese mixture feels too soft to handle, give it more time to chill in the refrigerator. This will make shaping the cookies easier and prevent the filling from leaking during baking, ensuring that each cookie has a perfect creamy center.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle the finished cookies with melted chocolate. You can also swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or chopped nuts to customize the flavor and texture to your liking.

Serviervorschläge

These cookies are delightful when served slightly warm, allowing the cream cheese center to remain soft and gooey. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a hot cup of coffee for an indulgent dessert experience.
