yield ABOUT 48 COOKIES prep time 20 MINUTES cook time 15 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS
2 & 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 cup (200g) firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 & 1/2 cups (255g) semisweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until almost combined. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until the dough is thoroughly mixed.
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans. Bake (one pan at a time) 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. (These cookies will not brown like classic chocolate chip cookies.)
Place the pans on wire racks to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then transfer the cookies from the pans directly onto the rack to cool completely
