I have been wanting to try a recipe that I have for Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip cookies for a while and then when I started making the dough, I had the idea to add some cheesecake pudding and turn them into a cheesecake inspired cookie instead! These cookies are excellent for parties and potluck dinners, but they are also great during the holidays. Cupcake ipsum dolor sit amet chocolate bar halvah carrot cake donut.
