Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Then, add the egg and beat until smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
