Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.

Shape the Cookie Bites

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the cookie dough into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each ball. Press a small indentation in the center of each ball to hold the cheesecake filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Fill and Bake

Fill each indentation in the cookie dough with the cheesecake mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Allow to cool before serving.
