Directions:
Cream the Base: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add both sugars, the egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until light and fluffy, about 7 minutes.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Mix and Chill: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Using a medium cookie scoop, form the dough into balls, flatten slightly, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place chilled dough balls on a greased baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes, until the edges are set but centers are soft.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
