Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies {Egg-Free}

Yield: 24 Cookies (2-3 dozen depending on size)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Total Time: 29 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 12 tablespoons (170 g) butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup (212 g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (106 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons (311 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (255 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment or silpat liners.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, melted butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until mostly incorporated by a few dry streaks remain. Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • Roll the dough into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand (just barely press, you don't need to flatten it all the way).
  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until the edges are just barely golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
