Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk, as preferred)

1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until well combined.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and fluffy.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.

            Stir in the Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly undercooked.

                  Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
