Soft Batch Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugars, egg, and vanilla and beat again on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes.

Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
