In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and refrigerate while preparing dough.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each, followed by vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a parchment-lined baking sheet, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, add a teaspoon of cheesecake filling, fold over, and roll into a ball.

Arrange on baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
