Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Cookie Base

In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until combined.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Bites

Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and press it into the bottom of each cavity in a mini muffin tin. Add a tablespoon of cheesecake filling on top, then cover with another tablespoon of cookie dough.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.

Allow the bites to cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.
