This is a great cookie, I used chocolate mint chips instead of just regular chocolate chips and they are delicious. Thank you for this recipe.
Very moist cookies, my husband thought they were a little bland, not sweet enough, the recipe is very easy to follow i did use my mixer, and they turned out light and airy. Thank you !!!
Hello there, I have a specific question about how to mix melted butter with softened cream cheese together.
Do you wait for both of them to be cool at room temperature ?
And how long do you mix them together and is it possible to hand-whisk in this step? As I have only done mixing softened butter & softened cream cheese. This is new too me and I just want to make sure I have got it right.
Cheers & thanks further for your input.

Hi! Yes, the cream cheese should be softened to room temperature, and whisked together with the melted butter (no need to cool). You can definitely do it by hand. Just mix until completely combined and no lumps remain. Enjoy! 🙂
Unfortunately they turned out quite dry and not very sweet. I added some powdered sugar on top once I tasted them and oh boy I drank A LOT of milk for just 2 cookies.
Lhello I’m in heaven they are lovely my grandchildren love them thank u so much can’t wait to see your other recipes.
I’m so glad everyone loved them!
Hi There, I believe you may have doubled the flour by mistake. Just made them and turned out to be “cake” cookies. My boys will still eat them though :).
Hi Lucille! The flour is the correct amount. These cookies are meant to be soft and chewy, not cakey. Did you flatten them slightly before baking? You could also try using less flour, but 2 cups is the perfect amount for me 🙂
Yes, Marsha, I am a bonafide chocolate lover, just like you! I am LOVING that you put a whole cup of chocolate chips in this recipe! What more could you really need in life? (Well, besides all of your other baked goodies). These cookies look like absolute perfection. That stack with the bite on top… must have taken true restraint to take just one bite and resist the rest! <–motivation to finish the shoot, amiright?? Pinning & sharing, of course! xoxo
Haha, yep! True motivation, and knowing I’ll get to finish it after 😉 Thanks, Demeter! Have a great week! xo
