Ingredients
FILLING:
8 oz cream cheese softened (224g)
3/4 cup powdered sugar (90g)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (226g)
1/2 cup sugar (100g)
1 cup brown sugar tightly packed (200g)
2 large eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
3 cups all-purpose flour (380g)
2 teaspoons cornstarch (Note: the video mistakenly says 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, I meant to say 2 teaspoons, but honestly 2 Tbsp will work your cookies will just be thicker).
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (170g), plus additional for topping
⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (56g)


Instructions
Filling
00:00 Introduction
00:24 Prepare the filling first by stirring together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
00:47 Scoop the filling by level 1 Tablespoon and drop on a plate or baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place in the freezer while you prepare cookie dough.

Cookies
01:10 In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in large bowl using electrical mixer), cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Scrape sides of bowl.
01:37 Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well-combined.
01:50 In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  
02:06 Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until well-combined.
02:23 Fold in chocolate chips.
02:39 Transfer dough to the refrigerator and chill dough for 15-30 minutes or until no longer too sticky to handle.
02:52 Once chilled, scoop dough into approximately 3-Tablespoon-sized scoops. Make an indent with your thumb, remove a single dollop of frozen cream cheese filling from the freezer and press in the center then fold dough around cream cheese so that none is exposed.
03:15 Roll the dough gently into a ball, place on a wax paper lined plate or baking sheet, and chill in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375F (190C).
03:44 Once dough has chilled and oven is preheated, place dough on parchment paper lined cookie sheet, spacing each cookie at least 2" apart, and bake on 375 for 11-13 minutes,
04:03 Within 2 minutes of removing cookies from oven, gently nestle remaining chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
