Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to ensure your cookies don’t stick and bake evenly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add both the sugar and brown sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Cooling racks
  • Spatula
  • Spoon or cookie scoop

Notes

  • Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth dough.
  • If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie before baking to balance the sweetness.
  • Don’t overbake; these cookies should be soft and chewy, not crispy.
  • Experiment with adding chopped nuts for added crunch.
