Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C), ensuring a consistent temperature for even baking.
- In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and butter until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate granulated and brown sugars along with vanilla extract, whipping the mixture until it becomes airy and voluminous.
- Gently introduce flour and baking soda, stirring minimally to maintain a delicate texture and prevent overmixing.
- Tenderly integrate chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor in each bite.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet, creating uniform cookies that will bake consistently.
- Transfer the prepared sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as a sign of perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer, more decadent flavor in each bite.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend, keeping proportions the same.
