Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or your favorite type)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. This mixture forms the base that ensures the cookies stay moist and tender.
  2. Add Sugar, Egg, and Vanilla: Mix in both the granulated and brown sugars until well combined, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy to create a perfect cookie dough consistency.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  4. Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender and soft.
  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in your choice of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the dough to get gooey chocolate in every bite.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for the cookies to spread. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly while staying moist inside.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smooth mixing and even texture.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are set and centers look slightly underdone for maximum softness.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  • If dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for 30 minutes before shaping.
  • Add chocolate chips last to avoid breaking during mixing.
