THEE best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made.
I’m serious.
Besides they could have been half the size - I followed the recipe so, of course, I made them the size she said!
They turned out a little too big, which is ok, because they were OH SO DELICIOUS.
Again. This recipe was from @adrianastreats on TikTok. She’s the queen of NOT gatekeeping recipes and I’m SO grateful for that!
Here’s the recipe!
Dry:
2 1/4 c. All purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Wet:
4 oz cream cheese
3/4 c. Unsalted butter
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 c. Dark brown sugar
1/4 c granulated sugar
Steps:
- Cream cream cheese and butter together until nice and smooth. Add rest of wet ingredients.
- When smooth, add dry ingredients.
- Once dough comes together, add in chocolate chips.
- Scoop 4oz cookie dough balls, add extra chocolate chips on top of them before chilling or freezing. (This is where, in the future, I’ll do 2oz instead of 4!)
- Freeze/chill for 45 minutes (important as doing this prevents them from spreading when baking!)
- Bake on 350 degrees for ~17 minutes.
And ENJOY!! ❤️
Baking delicious chocolate chip cookies is an art that many home bakers cherish. To create the ultimate chocolate chip cookie, start by choosing high-quality chocolate chips. Dark chocolate chips offer a rich flavor, but you can also mix in milk or white chocolate for a delightful twist. Ensure your butter is at room temperature for optimal creaming with cream cheese, which contributes to the cookies’ soft texture. Adding cornstarch to the dry ingredients helps create a tender cookie that stays chewy. Remember to chill the dough before baking; this step prevents the cookies from spreading too much, resulting in perfectly round cookies. After baking, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This rest time allows them to set properly. Enjoy them warm with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Happy baking!
