You'll love this recipe for Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies. With the addition of cream cheese, each cookie is soft and delectable, with a delightful richness in every bite.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese and both of the sugars until light and fluffy with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Reduce the speed to low and then gradually add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt until just combined.

Bake for 9-12 minutes until the cookies start to brown around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Then the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Keep a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them moist.
