Description
These ultra-soft chocolate chip cookies are rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a subtle tang from cream cheese. The dough is chilled for extra thickness, and each bite is loaded with gooey semi-sweet chocolate chips. The perfect cookie for any occasion!
Ingredients
- Refrigerating the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and results in a thicker texture.
- Feel free to use dark chocolate chips or a mix of chocolate for variety.
- For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans.
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps prevent spreading during baking.
- Preheat and shape: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk! These cookies are ultra-soft, rich, and loaded with chocolate chips. The cream cheese adds a subtle tang and makes them extra creamy!
