INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
PREPARATION
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and grease a baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla and beat again on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes.
Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough and flatten mounds slightly using your palm.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Once chilled, place cookies on prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart (about 8 cookies per sheet) and bake until edges have set, 8-9 minutes.
Cookies will look slightly undercooked and pale in the center; They’ll firm up as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Enjoy!
