Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies
Quick and delicious cookies that combine the flavors of cheesecake and chocolate chips, perfect for any sweet craving.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter (softened, unsalted) Using unsalted butter helps control saltiness.
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened) Essential for the cheesecake flavor.
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Brown Sugar Adds depth and moisture to the cookies.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (high-quality) Opt for high-quality for the best flavor.
- 1 large Egg (at room temperature) Helps create a smooth batter.
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour Gives the cookie its chewy texture.
- 1 tsp Baking Soda (fresh) Prevents flat cookies.
- ½ tsp Salt Enhances flavor.
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (reserve some for topping) Chocolate is a must; extra for topping adds texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the softened butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
- Add granulated and brown sugars to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until there are no traces of the egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
- Scoop mounds of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space for spreading, and top with reserved chocolate chips.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened for the best texture. Don't skip cooling; cookies need time to set.
