My husband loves cheesecake. I, on the other hand could live without it. I thought it would be awesome if I could take my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and combine it with cheesecake filling from here.
Turns out you can do it. And it satisfies both of our sweet cravings. My kids on the other will eat pretty much anything imaginable. You could give them cake icing with ketchup and they would eat it.
They’re always my first taste tasters but #1 They are completely biased towards me. Everything I bake is wonderful and the best ever!. #2 I don’t think they would even notice if there was too much salt, not enough sugar etc. If it’s dessert they like.
So maybe you won’t like these. I had my kids taste test them.
Oh don’t worry my hubby and I tried that too and they totally pass the test!
Love and blessings sent your way!

P.S. I’m so sorry if today was the start of a new diet for you. Because I totally just put temptation right before your eyes. Please forgive me! 🙂

I just found your recipe / website through Foodgawker. I think part of the recipe is missing. How long do I cook them and at what temperature? Thanks!
Thanks for catching that Jan. I’ve updated the recipe. Hope you get a chance to try them!
