Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set it aside.
  3. In a larger mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating an airy and light mixture.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
Baking
  1. Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer freshness, freeze them by laying them out to freeze solid and then store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
