Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Add the sugars and mix until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, then slowly add the flour. Stir until just mixed.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
