Make bakery-soft, thick, and chewy chocolate chip cookies with a rich, creamy texture thanks to the addition of cream cheese. These are the ultimate homemade comfort treats.

Ingredients

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

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 granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate 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 by hand.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound to promote thick cookies.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the thickest cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping and baking. This helps prevent spreading.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for the creamiest dough texture.
  • If you prefer a cheesecake cookies flavor, use a mix of chocolate chips and white chocolate chips.
