Ingredients

  • 5.75 oz all purpose flour
  • 1.25 oz cornstarch sifted
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 oz unsalted butter softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4.5 oz powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp clear vanilla
  • 6 oz mini chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese until well combined, scraping the bowl down as necessary. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low until combined. Add the egg, beat to combine, then scrape the bowl down. Add the milk and vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl or stand mixer and beat on a low speed until just barely combined. Add 4 oz of mini chocolate chips and stir or beat on low just until combined. Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to drop the cookie dough 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. I was able to fit 12 comfortably on my half sheet pan. You will get roughly 26- 28 cookies total.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of the remaining mini chocolate chips on the cookies, then use the bottom of a glass to slightly flatten the cookies. Bake for 12- 14 minutes or until the cookies are just slightly golden on the bottom edge. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • You can freeze the shaped and flattened cookies too! Freeze on a tray for 1 hour before transferring to an airtight container (place wax paper between layers of cookies). Bake from frozen at 350F for 14- 16 minutes.
