Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Chocolate chip cookies are my absolute favorite cookie. I am constantly striving to figure out how to make the best chocolate chip cookies ever. This version is one of my favorites. Cream cheese lends a dense, cakey texture to these chocolate chip cookies.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp. grated orange zest
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

  3. With an electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together.

  4. Add the sugar, orange zest and vanilla. Beat well.

  5. Beat in the egg.

  6. Gradually beat in the flour mixture on low speed.

  7. Stir in the chocolate chips.

  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.
