Instructions & Methods
Preparation Method
1. Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Base – In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth, fluffy, and pale—about 2–3 minutes.
3. Add Wet Ingredients – Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture.
5. Add the Magic – Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Scoop & Shape – Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Optionally press a few extra chocolate chips on top for a bakery-style finish.
7. Bake – Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly soft—that’s perfect for a chewy texture.
8. Cool – Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
