Fillings: Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Scoop into small balls and freeze for 2 hours. If making jam, simmer raspberries and sugar, stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken, then cool.
Dough: Cream butter and sugars. Add egg, vanilla, and food coloring. Fold in dry ingredients, then chocolate chips.
Assemble: Flatten 120g of dough. Place a frozen cheesecake ball and a teaspoon of jam in the center. Seal tightly and roll into a ball with a slight point on top.
Freeze: Freeze the assembled cookies for at least 2 hours.
Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) with the pan inside. Place frozen cookies on the hot pan and bake for 12–16 minutes.
Finish: Swirl with a cookie cutter for a round shape and press extra chocolate on top while warm.
Notes
Don't Skip Freezing: This is the only way to keep the cheesecake from leaking!
Hot Pan: This ensures the cookies rise and bake evenly.
Storage: Store in the fridge due to the cream cheese filling.
