Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it is at room temperature.
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened Use full-fat for the best results.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve cookies warm or cool. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a bag for up to three months. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent spreading, and a pinch of cinnamon can enhance flavors.
