Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk whole or 2%
  • 1.25 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2–3 minutes.
  • Mix in vanilla and milk until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients in two additions; mix on low just until the dough comes together.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Chill the dough for 15 minutes to firm slightly for easy scooping.
  • Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie and arrange 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges look set and centers are still pale and soft.
  • Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Try swapping 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips for chopped toasted walnuts, or roll dough balls in coarse sugar for a crunchy finish. Store cookies airtight at room temperature for 3 days, or freeze baked cookies up to 2 months.
