Description
Delightful cookies blending rich cream cheese with sweet chocolate chips, offering a chewy texture that is indulgent yet familiar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, mixing well after each addition.
- Blend the cream cheese mixture into the butter mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a delightful twist, consider adding caramel sauce or using different types of chocolate chips.
