Prep Time 25 minutes mins
Cook Time 11 minutes mins
Total Time 36 minutes mins
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 11 ¼ oz/319 g
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter 4 oz/115 g, softened
- ¼ cup cream cheese 2 oz/57 g, softened
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- ⅔ cup dark brown sugar 4 oz/115 g
- ½ cup granulated sugar 4 oz/115 g
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups bittersweet chocolate 9 oz/255 g, chopped
Using the fan setting, preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter, and cream cheese and cream on medium speed until fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes.
Lower the speed and beat in the egg, brown sugar and white sugar and vanilla, scraping down the sides to ensure even mixing.
Gradually incorporate the flour in a few additions, scraping down the bowl in between, then fold in the chocolate chunks until just combined.
Using a ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) cookie scoop or measuring cup, scoop out balls of dough and arrange them on your prepared baking sheets about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. You should get about 9 balls of cookie dough per tray.
Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes, until just beginning to brown. Let cool on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy with a big glass of milk! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
