Replace Butter With Butter Cheese for Softer, Fluffier Cookies
I’m an equal opportunity cookie eater, and while I love thin crunchy biscuits, I firmly believe there is a time and place for soft, fluffy ones as well. (Time is always, place is my mouth.) According to Delish , the secret to making a soft, cloud-like cookie every time is simple: just swap butter for butter cheese.
I’m not usually a big fan of butter substitutes, but I’ll make an exception for cream cheese. According to Delish, “the dense cream cheese keeps the cookies from spreading, making the dough gooey and the chocolate chips sticky,” resulting in “the perfect hybrid of chocolate chip cookies and cookie dough,” which sounds pretty amazing. You can try their recipe (link below) or replace it with your favorite, just remember to soften the cream cheese like butter first.
