Instructions soft chocolate cheesecake cookies

For this recipe I used unsalted butter made by Lurpak but you can also use the salted one.
For this recipe all ingredients must be at room temperature.
In a bowl place soft butter and cream cheese. Beat everything with the electric mixer until the ingredients combine and become fluffy.
Add white sugar and beat until it is completely dissolved. At this point add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk again.
Add sifted flour, dark cocoa powder and baking powder. Stir with a spoon to mix all the ingredients. The dough will be thick and sticky but do not use more flour.
Cover a baking tray with baking paper. Wet your hands slightly with water and create about 12 balls of dough (wet your hands every time if they become too sticky). Place the balls on the pan. Take the chocolate and chop it coarsely. Add some pieces on top of each cookie.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 180 ° C for 15 – 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and proceed in the same way with the remaining dough.
