Description
Delicious cookies made with cream cheese and chocolate chips for a soft and chewy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 12 tablespoons butter (melted & cooled)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper, using a silpat liner, or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl with a handheld mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until lighter in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in vanilla extract and mix together.
- Add the baking soda, salt, and flour and mix just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix.
- Roll dough into 2″ balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes until puffy, still pale in color, and the tops should have slight cracks in them. They will cook slightly more as they cool on the hot cookie sheet so don’t overbake them.
- Let the cookies cool for 15-20 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
