Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and heating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Create a creamy base by whipping cream cheese, butter, and sugars until they transform into a light, airy mixture.
- Enhance the flavor profile by incorporating vanilla extract and blending thoroughly.
- Carefully introduce dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, and salt – mixing gently until the dough reaches a consistent texture without overmixing.
- Gently integrate chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Carefully portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating uniform dollops that will bake evenly.
- Transfer the cookie sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a delicate golden-brown edge that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps them set and develop a perfect texture.
- Once cooled, transfer to a serving plate and enjoy the decadent blend of cheesecake softness and classic chocolate chip cookie charm.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese and butter at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer, more intense flavor profile.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
