Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Use a spoon to scoop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The center should still be soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate chips or a mix of white and milk chocolate chips.
- If you prefer chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them set on the baking sheet before moving.
