A recipe for soft, rich chocolate chip cookies that use cream cheese for an extra chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and softened cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for easier mixing.
  • Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for a better appearance.
