Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar tightly packed
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer (or using an electric hand mixer and a large bowl), beat together butter and cream cheese until creamed.
- Add sugars and beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Pause mid-way through to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add egg and beat until combined, and stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to your wet ingredients until completely combined.
- Using a spatula or with your mixer on low-speed, stir in 1 ½ cups of the chocolate chunks/chips, and pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that chocolate is well incorporated.
- Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls and gently roll between your palms for a smooth ball. Place on cookie sheet, spacing at least 2" apart, and bake on 350F (175C) for 8-10 minutes. Cookies may still seem soft in the centers but will continue to bake on the cookie sheet as they cool.
- Within one minute of removing from the oven, gently press remaining chocolate chunks/chips into the tops of each cookie. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for at least 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
