Delighting in these Cheesecake Chocolate Chip Cookies is more than just satisfying a sweet tooth; it’s about enjoying a special treat that combines elements of two beloved desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This initial step is vital, as it prepares your baking environment and ensures your cookies rise perfectly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of the leavening agent and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to beat these ingredients together until they are light and fluffy.
- Once your mixture is fluffy, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
