Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups (440g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2 minutes.
- Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and blend well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips. The dough will be thick—perfect for forming those chunky cookies.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or store for later!
Notes
If you notice your cookies spreading too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps maintain their shape.
