They bake up golden brown with chewy centers and crispy edges. The cookies will be slightly thicker when you bake them cold, but just as gooey and delicious once baked.These cream cheese chocolate chip cookies are tender, soft, and absolutely delicious! Press down on each cookie dough ball gently to slightly flatten the tops. To bake, I recommend forming 1.5 tablespoon cookie dough balls and placing them on your prepared baking sheet. While this cookie recipe doesn’t require you to chill the dough before baking, you certainly can. Can I chill my cookie dough before baking? To thaw either frozen cookie dough or cookies, place in the refrigerator overnight. Keep in an airtight, freezer-safe container or double wrap in plastic wrap. Yes, both the cookie dough and baked cookies can be kept frozen for up to the 2 months.

They may look slightly underdone in the center but the cookies will continue baking as they cool. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the cookies just begin to brown at the edges. Place cookie dough balls on baking sheets 2-inches apart lined with parchment paper. Mix in the chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix the cookie dough. On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

This will take several minutes and is an important step to get thick and tender cookies. Then, add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until combined. Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugars together.Unlike my chewy chocolate chip cookies which uses melted butter, this cream cheese chocolate chip cookie recipe starts the way many other cookie recipes do: by creaming the butter and sugar in a mixer.
