Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For Rolling (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. If desired, combine the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls, then roll the balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  8. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
