Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
Servings 22 cookies (approximately)
Ingredients
- ½ cup softened butter
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 and ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon corn starch (We use Argo® Corn Starch)
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or silicon mats.
- Add the softened butter, cream cheese, white and brown sugar to a large bowl and beat until smooth.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat for 3-4 minutes until it's very fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula just until you see no more loose white flour.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- If you have the time, I would recommend chilling the dough for just 30 minutes, if not, you can go ahead and scoop/bake them but the dough will be stickier and a bit harder to work with.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto your prepared cookie sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes.
- When finished baking, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before moving them onto a flat plate or cookie rack.
