Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to make your Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites:

For the Cookie Base

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.

Instructions

Follow these steps to whip up your Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites:

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until combined.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Cookie Bites

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough onto the baking sheet, flatten it slightly, then add a teaspoon of cheesecake filling on top. Cover with another tablespoon of cookie dough and seal the edges.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cookies are set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites!

Nutritional Information

While Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites are undeniably a treat, it's important to enjoy them in moderation. Each bite-sized cookie provides a rich flavor experience and can be a satisfying sweet indulgence. However, if you're keeping an eye on your caloric intake, consider enjoying one or two as a special treat rather than an everyday snack.

You can also make some healthier swaps in the recipe. For instance, using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour can add fiber, and opting for reduced-fat cream cheese can help lighten the cheesecake filling without sacrificing too much flavor. These small changes can help you enjoy your cookies guilt-free!

Pairing Suggestions

Choco Cheesecake Cookie Bites pair wonderfully with a variety of beverages. For a classic combination, serve them with a glass of cold milk, which complements the rich chocolate flavor perfectly. Alternatively, a hot cup of coffee or espresso enhances the dessert experience, especially if you enjoy the coffee-chocolate combination.

For those looking to elevate their dessert experience, consider pairing these cookie bites with dessert wines or sweet liqueurs. A rich port or a chocolate liqueur can create a delightful contrast and amplify the flavors of the cookie bites, making your dessert time feel more luxurious.
