Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for an easy, non-stick experience.
2. Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and butter until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer.
3. Add Sugars and Vanilla: Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Then, beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture, mixing gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form cookie dough balls and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Leave 2 inches between each cookie.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will appear slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your chocolate chip cheesecake cookies once they are fully set!
