Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Extra granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

      Add Sugars and Egg: Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

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

          Mix Everything Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, if using, until evenly dispersed throughout the cookie dough.

              Scoop the Batter: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Sprinkle Sugar: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on top of each cookie dough ball for a sweet finish.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.

                    Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Serve: Enjoy these delicious Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies while still warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week!
