Description
Softbatch Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies Delight
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
- 2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the softened butter, softened cream cheese, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, large egg, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is well-creamed, light, and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and optional salt. Mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
- Incorporate the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks by either beating them in for a moment or folding them in by hand.
- Using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop, form heaping mounds of dough. Place the mounds on a large plate, flatten them slightly with your palm, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 5 days, before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), line a baking sheet with a Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mat or spray with cooking spray, and arrange the mounds on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the edges have set and the tops are just beginning to set. Do not exceed 10 minutes of baking time.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- The recipe yields 28 cookies.
