These soft batch chocolate cookies offer a perfect blend of creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor from both semi-sweet chunks and white chocolate chips, making them melt in your mouth delight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and confectioners' sugar on high for 2-3 minutes until combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract on low speed and mix for about 1 minute.
Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, then mix on low for about 1 minute until fully incorporated.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and white chocolate morsels by hand until evenly combined.
Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, place dough onto prepared baking sheets, fitting 8 cookies on two sheets and 4 on the last sheet (20 total).
Press down on each cookie dough ball with your hand or the bottom of a glass for a flatter cookie. Optionally, add extra morsels on top for presentation.
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, watching closely to avoid browning. Cookies should be slightly underdone and just golden on edges.
Allow cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
These cookies stay soft for days and freeze well. For best texture, avoid overbaking. You can customize by adding toffee bits or brown butter for extra flavor.
