Strangely enough, there are so many ways to make a chocolate chip cookie. Some people prefer their cookies thinner and crumbly. I love a chocolate chip cookie that’s rich, soft, and oh so fluffy. If this is your preferred type of chocolate chip cookie as well, I’m going to share an insider tip for achieving the perfect chocolate chip cookie – and the secret lies in one specific ingredient.
So, what is this secret ingredient, might you ask? It’s cream cheese! You may think it sounds odd to add cream cheese to a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but when you add it in moderation, it won’t affect the flavor – it will only enhance it and leave you with a perfectly moist and fluffy batch of cookies.
Food blogger and cookbook author Averie Cooks explains that her favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. In Averie’s recipe for soft batch chocolate chip cookies, she uses a combination of 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of cream cheese. Averie reveals that the cream cheese makes these cookies soft, moist, and gives them a delectably rich dough. Is anyone else drooling yet?!
Want to try out Averie’s recipe for soft batch chocolate chip cookies for yourself? for the full list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions. Not only are these soft batch cookies the perfect consistency and flavor, but their soft and fluffy quality will also help them to keep a bit better. I don’t know about you, but I see an afternoon of cookie baking in my near future!
