Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¾ cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to enhance flavor and texture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading too much and enhances the flavor.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even chopped nuts.
- If you prefer extra soft cookies, slightly underbake them and allow them to set while cooling.
