Description
These cookies combine the creaminess of cheesecake with the classic charm of chocolate chips, creating a rich, indulgent, and surprisingly easy-to-make treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 g) salt
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, ensure your butter and cream cheese are softened before mixing. Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it feels too soft to prevent spreading.
