These Softbatch Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. The addition of cream cheese gives them a soft, creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
  • 2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Creaming the Ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Adding Dry Ingredients: Scrape down the bowl and add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  3. Incorporating Chocolate: Add chocolate chips and mix briefly to combine.
  4. Chilling the Dough: Scoop the dough onto a plate, flatten, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours to 5 days.
  5. Baking: Preheat oven, place dough on a baking sheet, and bake for 8-9 minutes until set.
  6. Cooling and Storing: Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Store airtight for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • For a softer cookie, slightly underbake them.
  • Chilling the dough ensures thicker cookies.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
