Author: Lauren Pacek

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
  • sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese together until they are smooth.
  • Add the sugars, egg, and vanilla extract and cream together for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • In a couple of batches, add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix until they just come together, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Press the tops down lightly with your hand, press in a few extra chocolate chips, and top with a sprinkling of sea salt.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes, or just until the tops appear to be dry. They will continue to firm up as they cool. 
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 5-7 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
