  • 1 cup sugar For sweetness and chewiness.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Forms the base for the cookies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the cream cheese mixture, blending well until no flour streaks remain.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies. Mix semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips for enhanced flavor depth. Ensure to avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender.
