2 cups All-Purpose Flour Try gluten-free for a different texture.
1 tablespoon Cornstarch Substitute with extra flour in a 2:1 ratio if needed.
1 teaspoon Baking Powder Always check for freshness.
½ cup Unsalted Butter Let it warm to room temperature for easy mixing.
8 ounces Cream Cheese Full-fat works best for creaminess.
1 large Egg Use ½ banana or 3 tablespoons of apple puree for an egg-free option.
2 tablespoons Milk Keeps the dough moist.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the sweetness.
1 cup Powdered Sugar Adjust based on your sweetness preference.
1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Feel free to swap with nuts or dried fruits.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla to the creamed mixture, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy.
Gently fold in the dry mixture until a fine dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape dough into balls and flatten slightly on baking sheets.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden but still soft in the center.
Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookies can be customized with different mix-ins. Ensure to use room temperature ingredients for a smooth dough.
