Description
These Softbatch Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies are ultra-soft, chewy, and rich with the addition of cream cheese, giving them a tender and indulgent texture packed with melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake — cookies should look slightly underdone when removed from the oven for a soft texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
