Description
Soft, chewy, and rich with gooey chocolate chips, these are the best chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever bake. A touch of cream cheese keeps them tender with perfect golden edges.
Ingredients
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1¼ tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese, and both sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla extract and beat in eggs one at a time.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Scoop 2-tbsp mounds of dough and space 2 inches apart.
9. Bake 9–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are just set.
