  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: About 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy, ensuring a rich cookie base.
  2. Add Sugar and Egg: Mix in the brown and granulated sugars, followed by the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined for balanced sweetness and flavor.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute leavening and seasoning.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently until just combined to keep the cookies tender. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips so each cookie contains melty chocolate pockets.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help cookies maintain their shape during baking.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, enhancing their chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and smooth dough.
  • Do not overmix to maintain tender cookies.
  • Chill dough before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for better melt and flavor.
  • Adjust baking time if cookies are larger or smaller.
