Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, take a look at the mouthwatering image of these cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat together using an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the cream cheese mixture gradually, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
