Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additions:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Creaming the Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Adding Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Preparing the Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chilling and Baking: Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Let the cookies cool before serving.
Notes
- For the softest cookies, avoid overbaking.
- You can customize with mini chocolate chips or a mix of dark and milk chocolate for variety.
