Notes
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. This will make it easier to cream with the sugar and will reduce the chance of clumps.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet for quicker clean up and to further reduce the chance of cookies spreading while baking. However, thanks to the cream cheese in this dough, there won’t be much spreading. 👏🏻
Check on the cookies at the 8-minute mark just to make sure you don’t over bake them. The recommended bake time is 9-11 minutes, however, some ovens are different and altitude can have an effect as well. We don’t want these cookies overdone or else they won’t be as soft and chewy as they should be!
These double chocolate cream cheese cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, but any longer they should be stored in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese in the cookies.
