Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (55 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (255 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11–13 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
