Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips For a twist, try using mini chocolate chips.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the mix, and continue beating until the texture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully combined with the mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
  7. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  8. Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are set.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for approximately 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze cookies separated by parchment paper for up to 2 months.
