Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (350g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer).
  3. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in 2 cups chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  7. On a lightly floured surface or over a sheet of parchment paper, roll the cookie dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Refrigerate for 10 minutes if dough feels too soft to handle.
  8. While the dough chills, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth and spreadable.
  9. Using a spatula, evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along one edge to help seal the roll.
  10. Starting from the edge with the filling, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, using the parchment paper to help guide and keep it tight. Pinch the seam to seal.
  11. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but soft.
  13. Let the cookie sushi rolls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.

Notes

If dough cracks when rolling, chill for 10 minutes. Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Don’t overmix dough to keep cookies tender. Use a sharp knife and wipe blade between cuts for clean slices. Avoid overbaking to maintain soft centers.
