Delicious cookies merging the rich texture of cheesecake with the chewiness of chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 5–6 tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Cheese: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Combine with Sugar: Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy.
- Form the Dough: Gently fold in the dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to firm up.
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Shape the Cookies: Form the chilled dough into 24-26 balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1.5 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Optionally, add extra mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie for added indulgence.
- Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are just turning golden.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for the best consistency. Consider adding lemon zest for a cheesecake flavor boost.
