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

For easier handling, chill the cream cheese mixture a bit longer if it feels too soft or sticky before stuffing the cookies. This helps maintain the creamy center and avoids leakage during baking. Using parchment paper makes cleanup quick and prevents sticking, while rolling the dough carefully will ensure your cookies hold their shape beautifully.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Enhance the recipe by drizzling melted chocolate over the baked cookies for an extra decadent touch. Feel free to swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or chopped nuts to vary flavor and texture according to your preference.
