How to make them

PREP. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat Mats, set aside.

WET INGREDIENTS. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter, cream cheese, sugars and vanilla, until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mix until incorporated.

DRY INGREDIENTS. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk or sift together flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt. With mixing speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until no flour pockets remain. Remove bowl from stand and fold in chocolate chips. Place in the refrigerator to chill overnight or bake immediately.

BAKE. Using a standard size cookie scoop, place balls of dough onto prepared sheets. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden in color. Be careful not to overbake. These cookies should look very soft and almost underdone when removing from the oven (they will harden as they cool). Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

tips + Storing Info

  • Be sure to use regular cream cheese, not light, fat free, or the whipped variety.
  • Make sure your cornstarch is fresh and hasn’t expired to avoid flat cookies.
  • For variety, switch it up to add chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, mini chips, or even m&ms in your cookies.
  • Make sure to mix your dough long enough to where it is light and fluffy for the best texture results.
  • Chilling your dough for a minimum of 2 hours before baking will also help cookies to be softer and fluffier.
  • Make sure to form your dough into balls before you chill it, as it will be harder to form once the dough is cold.

STORE unbaked dough balls covered in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When baking frozen dough, no need to thaw first, just add a few extra minutes onto the bake time.

STORE cookies covered at room temperature for up to a week.

FREEZE leftover cookies in a Ziploc bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
