Make the best softbatch cream cheese chocolate chip cookies. The addition of cream cheese guarantees a rich, tender, and gooey texture that tastes like a chocolate chip cheesecake cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks by hand.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly mound the dough.
  9. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still look slightly soft and gooey.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure your butter and cream cheese are truly at room temperature.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you prefer slightly thicker cookies that spread less. This recipe does not require long chilling.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft for several days.
