Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (2 ounces) cream cheese*, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (30g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon McCormick vanilla extract
  • cups (281g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 cup (6 ounces or 170g) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup (6 ounces or 170g) white chocolate morsels (chips)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare three baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (you can also use a hand-held mixer) add butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and confectioners sugar. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes or until ingredients are fully combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl as needed.
  • With the mixer on its lowest speed, add in the egg and vanilla and blend for about 1 minute.
  • Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Then, turn the mixer on low and mix for about 1 minute, or until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and white chocolate morsels and mix by hand until combined.
  • Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop batter out onto cookie sheet. I fit 8 cookies on two sheets then 4 cookies on the final prepared cookie sheet. (20 total cookies)
  • Using your hand or the bottom of a kitchen glass, press the cookie dough down so that it not rounded on top. (PRO TIP: Add extra morsels on top for a beautiful cookie presentation!)
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies are better when slightly underdone and just barely brown on the edges. Keep a close eye that they do not get dark brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before moving to cooling rack.

Notes
