These Softbatch Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie, with the addition of cream cheese for extra richness and a soft, tender texture. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened*
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

Additional Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
  • 2 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks**

Instructions

  1. Creaming the Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Adding Dry Ingredients: Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  3. Incorporating Chocolate: Add the chocolate chips and mix briefly to incorporate, or fold in by hand.
  4. Forming and Chilling: Use a medium cookie scoop to form heaping mounds, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. Baking: Preheat oven to 350F, place cookie mounds on a baking sheet, and bake for 8-9 minutes until just set.
  6. Cooling: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips.
  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easier mixing.
