Soft Batch Choclate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

½ tsp. fine salt

½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cornstarch

1½ cups all-purpose flour (6.75 ounces) *

¼ cup granulated sugar

½  cup light brown sugar, packed (4.4 ounces)

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, at cool room temperature (3 ounces)

2 Tbsp. cream cheese (1 ounce)

1 large egg 

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

 

Instructions

Whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and flour and set aside. In a stand mixer mix together the sugars, butter, and cream cheese, not longer than 3 minutes. Add the egg and blend to combine. Add the flour mixture on low speed until just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips. Chill the dough. Scoop the dough onto a Silpat or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and shape the balls into tall mounds. Press a few chocolate chips in the tops of each cookie. Bake at 325°F for 9.25 minutes.

 

*You can substitute ¼ -½ cup cake flour for ¼ -½ of the all-purpose flour instead of adding the cornstarch.
