Ingredients
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan until brown and set it aside to cool.
  2. Cream the butter, cream cheese and both sugars together with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and beat until combined.
  4. Turn the mixer on low and mix in the flour, salt and baking soda until just combined.
  5. Add the chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate until chilled, several hours or overnight.
  7. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a few trays with baking paper.
  8. Roll 1/4 cup size balls of dough and place them on the trays. Flatten slightly.
  9. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the edges are golden.
Notes
Measuring out the dough by a 1/4 cup makes a large cookie but I found that this method worked the best. I initially used my cookie scoop but the cookies didn't turn out as pretty. Large scoops, rolling, and slightly flattening before baking produces a big, bakery-like cookie that's pretty much impossible to resist!
