Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Beat in the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until glossy.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Drop 2 tablespoon scoops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Serve warm.

Notes

For the softest texture, do not overbake—the centers should look slightly underdone when you pull the sheet from the oven because they finish setting as they cool.
