Introducing the ChocoChiptastic Delight Recipe, an indulgent treat that serves 24 people and is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. While this recipe is incredibly delicious, it’s important to note that it may not be suitable for those with dietary restrictions or health conditions related to sugar and dairy consumption.
The magic of this recipe lies in its ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted), 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and another teaspoon of vanilla extract. The combination of brown and white sugars creates a soft and chewy texture while the semisweet chocolate chips add bursts of rich flavor. The pièce de résistance is the cream cheese filling which adds an irresistible creaminess to these Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies.
To create your own ChocoChiptastic Delight cookies at home, start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In another medium mixing bowl use an electric mixer to cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk to the butter mixture and mix well. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips before dropping rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Place a dollop of cream cheese mixture on top of each cookie dough mound and gently press down with your fingers to slightly flatten. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
