Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten in your hand. Place a small dollop of cheesecake filling in the center, then fold the dough over to encase the filling completely.

Roll it into a ball and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
