Stir the flour, baking soda, cocoa, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl.

Using a large mixing bowl, whisk your softened butter and white sugar until fluffy and smooth.
04 -
Mix the milk, egg, and vanilla into the butter-sugar combo. Ensure it's blended well.
05 -
Slowly incorporate the dry bowl mix into the wet one. Don't overmix! Fold in the chocolate pieces after.
06 -
Beat the cream cheese along with icing sugar and vanilla until velvety and smooth in texture.
07 -
Scoop up 1 tablespoon of dough, shape into balls, and press to flatten slightly on the baking tray. Make a little indent in each, then spoon in the cheesecake mix.
08 -
Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies' edges should set while the center stays soft. The filling might puff up a bit.

Leave the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for a short while, then shift them to a cooling rack to finish.
