Bake these ultra-soft, thick cream cheese chocolate chip cookies for a rich, chewy, melt-in-your-mouth dessert that stays fresh for days. This recipe delivers bakery-style results easily.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound for spreading. For thicker cookies, do not flatten the dough balls.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps create thick, soft batch cookies.
  • Use a combination of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks for varied texture and pockets of melted chocolate.
  • These cookies stay soft for several days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
