Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:

4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours for better flavor and texture.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers remain soft.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a sweeter option.
Refrigerated dough enhances flavor and ensures the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
