Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, cream cheese, sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture, beating to combine, then stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 3 days.
-
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 °F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
-
Drop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 2 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Kelly's Notes: Measure 1/4 cup cream cheese by spooning/scraping it into a dry measuring cup and leveling it off.
Why this Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
