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.
