Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar tightly packed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.  Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer (or using an electric hand mixer and a large bowl), beat together butter and cream cheese until creamed.
  • Add sugars and beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Pause mid-way through to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add egg and beat until combined, and stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to your wet ingredients until completely combined.
  • Using a spatula or with your mixer on low-speed, stir in 1 ½ cups of the chocolate chunks/chips, and pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that chocolate is well incorporated.
  • Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls and gently roll between your palms for a smooth ball.  Place on cookie sheet, spacing at least 2" apart, and bake on 350F (175C) for 8-10 minutes.  Cookies may still seem soft in the centers but will continue to bake on the cookie sheet as they cool.
  • Within one minute of removing from the oven, gently press remaining chocolate chunks/chips into the tops of each cookie.  Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for at least 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
