Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened, not low-fat)
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough balls onto sheets and bake for 9–11 minutes.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For extra soft cookies, do not overbake—they will continue to set as they cool.
- You can use mini chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips for variety.
- Dough can be frozen for up to 2 months.
