How to Make Cream Cheese Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and stir into the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking powder, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 48 (1-inch) balls.
- Place balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball to a 2-inch circle using the bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese icing (see below).
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread cream cheese icing on half of the cookies.
- Top with the remaining cookies, pressing gently.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- **Cream Cheese Icing:** In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened), 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
