Ingredients

Scale

Dairy & Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This creates a moist, soft base that makes the cookies tender.
  2. Add Sugars and Egg: Mix in the granulated and brown sugars until well combined. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and light.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, folding gently until fully combined.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute the melty chocolate throughout the dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape and intensify flavor.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
  • Use room temperature butter and cream cheese for smooth mixing.
  • Chilling the dough prevents spreading and ensures ideal thickness.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise and texture.
  • Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked to keep them soft.
