Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese:
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Sugars:
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Form the Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand to ensure even distribution.
- Portion the Dough:
- Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
